How can districts evaluate ELs to get a comprehensive view of the student’s academic standing?
To get a comprehensive view of a student’s academic standing, districts should utilize all available standardized assessments (i.e. STAR results, CELDT results, Aprenda 3 results, STS results, etc.) as well as district assessments, academic coursework, and relevant program information. The goal should be to monitor student’s progress to ensure students are gaining English proficiency and improving their academic knowledge.
