Abstract	The purpose of this paper is to provide background for the vision statement, "An Argument-based Framework for Valid and Actionable Assessment for English Learners in Secondary Grades." We begin by identifying the problem we intended to address in the vision statement for an assessment framework. This is followed by a discussion about the perspective on language development that underpins the assessment framework and its consequences for assessment. After a consideration of the assessment principles that guided the development of the framework, we propose an approach to assessment which should be the major focus for educators since it will be actionable for the everyday development of English Learners' potential. Finally, we suggest some possible new directions for accountability assessments. (As Provided).
