Margo Gottlieb

Special Guest Speaker (Friday 2:30-4:15 Jefferson Grand Ballroom) Standards: A metric for language teaching and learning Margo Gottlieb The standards movement has been the impetus for defining a common metric to describe student expectations and milestones in English language development. In turn, educators have translated these standards into a vision for language teaching and a means of monitoring and documenting student learning. This presentation speaks to PreK-12 English language proficiency standards and how they serve as the anchor for curriculum, instruction, and assessment for language education. Personal insights and experiences illustrate how the standards have helped galvanize the role of language teaching in today’s high-stakes educational environment. Margo Gottlieb is a specialist in the design of assessments for English language learners in PreK-12 settings and in the evaluation of educational programs. She has consulted with and provided technical assistance to governments, states, school districts, publishers, universities, and professional organizations. In 2004, Gottlieb was a Fulbright scholar, serving as a senior specialist in Chile and as an evaluator for a dual-language school in Italy. in 2002. She has served on numerous U.S. and state task forces, advisory committees, and expert panels in addition to presenting at over a 100 international and national conferences. Presently, Gottlieb is director of assessment and evaluation at the Illinois Resource Center and lead developer for World-Class Instructional Design and Assessment (WIDA), a multistate consortium.
