As schools prepare to be more accountable for ELL performance, various options have been put forth for accommodating ELLs, including (1) allowing the test to be explained through a bilingual specialist or translated into a student’s native language; (2) allowing the student to respond in his/her native language; (3) allowing the student to take the test in a location separate from his/her peers; and (4) allowing the student additional time to complete the test or take extra breaks from testing.
