I'm very happy I stumbled upon this training, I work in a district with majority of students being part of a minority group. I am bilingual and although I have always tried my best to be unbiased with my assessments but this gives me that confidence in my decision making and in using dynamic assessment.

The presenter misspoke several times throughout the course, making it difficult to follow. There are many SLPs with greater knowledge on this topic - a bilingual SLP would provide more insight into the topic. The speaker's examples were all using students who primarily speak English. It would be nice to have seen how she used an interpreter to conduct the assessment. The course did not provide any additional information to what I have found in other locations/presentations.

This was somewhat of a review for me since I have done DA and MLE through ASHA's website. This course introduced and summarized most of that material from ASHA's Dynamic Assessment page. This course would have been more helpful to me prior to reviewing the ASHA material and I would recommend it for others before diving into the ASHA page on MLE and DA.

The key ingredients needed to conduct both English and Bilingual dynamic assessments are described in this course. Ways to modify assessments to focus on the student’s learning potential and to ensure cultural sensitivity during bilingual assessments are discussed. Methods of collecting data in order to create measurable and achievable goals that match the individual’s potential are also provided.

by

The presenter made several "flubs" that she later corrected making it difficult to follow. Some thing just didn't make since; for example a 3 year old in kindergarten (did she mean preschool?). Also why would the boy from Mexico (second video) have Hebrew as a second language. Why use an actor, not a true speech/language impaired student to demonstrate MLE. Overall I did not benefit this course or enjoy watching the presenter.

I thought the course was geared toward assessing bilingual learners, but both of the examples were actually English speakers. The material was better explained in the handout than in the actual presentation. The language/information used with the 3 year old was so above her level and she was obviously not engaged, it was a strange example to show on a training. Same information could have been presented to her in a more appropriate way, and benefitted the learners here.

The case studies did not seem to link to considerations about linguistic diversity at all. In the 2nd case study, conclusions written on the slide did not match what the presenter said aloud (slide suggested that cause & effect WOULD be an appropriate target for therapy; presenter said student probably wouldn't need to target cause & effect bc he did so well in the MLE). It also would have helped clarity-wise if she would have explained what she meant by "modifiability" and "response."
