In reply to @KarenNemethEdM

A3 I struggle with this in the early grades. We progress monitor Ss and if there is no growth with right intervention, refer #ellchat

KarenNemethEdM - Moderator Apr 24 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4 Culture is a factor even when all the children speak the same language as the assessment! So complicated! #ELLCHAT

carlota_holder Apr 24 @ 9:35 PM EDT

We can still give interventions without a label to ensure they're getting serviced they need #ellchat

In reply to @KarenNemethEdM

A4- Students can be compared to other ELLs in a similar culture to see if they are on track with their learning, or behind. #ellchat

esljaana Apr 24 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A4) we need to make sure we are not referring ss just because their culture & thus their behavior is different/strange #ELLCHAT

DelaneyELDiana Apr 24 @ 9:36 PM EDT
