QUOTED FROM IDOE WEBSITE: The rules governing the provision of special education in Indiana, commonly referred to as Article 7, include provisions regarding limited English proficient students and the educational evaluation process for special education. Inclusion of qualified EL staff in the educational evaluation process not only ensures compliance with Article 7, but allows for a collaborative approach of all educators to create meaningful and authentic goals for English learners.
School districts and charter schools must utilize data regarding the English learner’s current level of English proficiency in order to determine if a test in English would yield any accurate information. In order to properly assess the effects of the English learner’s limited English proficiency on the student’s achievement and the language proficiency assessment data, the multidisciplinary team must include individuals with proper knowledge in this area, which includes the qualified English learner staff. Qualified EL staff should participate in this review to share the student’s performance on the federally and state required English language proficiency assessment, as these individuals have been trained on how to interpret the language proficiency assessment data and the effects on the English learner’s achievement. In addition, qualified EL teachers need to share their classroom based observations for the English learner’s performance in their classrooms. English Learner paraprofessionals, which often work daily with the English learners in multiple settings, will provide a great amount of knowledge regarding the English learner’s current level of performance and rate of acquisition of English. Both English learner teachers and other EL staff often have a great rapport with the families, and will allow the case conference committee to best assess and plan for the needs of the student.
