Can ELL students have AIPs?
It is expected that teachers will collaborate to completean on-line AIP for students that are below grade level (the same standards and criteria should apply to ELLs as non-ELLs) and that AIPswill be discussed with parents/guardians at conference time. Thismeans that minimally, all level 1 students and all Language Academy studentsshould have an AIP completed, but that does not exclude others from having one as well. “ELL service” should not be listed as an intervention in and of itself. The AIP should be used to documentspecific ELL strategies you and your colleagues are using to assistour ELL students (e.g. additional modified guided oral reading focused on vocabulary development; a variety of intentionalstudent groupings for interactive daily oral practice to developlanguage and concepts prior to writing.) Please refer to the AIP Guidefor additional information.
