Literacy and Academic AchievementFebruary 26, 2007 Literacy and Academic Achievement was the theme for the Tenth Annual WCER Conference for Wisconsin Cooperative Educational Service Agencies (CESAs), held last week at WCER. Wisconsin’s 12 CESAs provide services and partnership opportunities to promote cost-effective and equalized educational results across diverse school districts. The 36 in attendance learned about standards, assessments, and professional development for teachers of English Language Learners offered by the 15-state WIDA consortium. Craig Albers discussed alternate assessment and accommodations for ELLs with significant disabilities, and Catherine Compton-Lilly discussed her 10-year study of children as they learned to read and developed as readers, from first grade through high school. More about the WIDA consortium is available here. Literacy Studies at UW-Madison has information here.
