ISBEs Multilingual Department is focused on ensuring that students with diverse linguistic repertoires and those who may benefit from additional support have equitable access to academic instruction in English.These students also must be provided with access to all educational opportunities to which they are entitled. A home language survey is filled out by families who enroll their children in public schools in Illinois. Potential English Learners (ELs) are screened for English language proficiency (ELP) using an approved English language screening instrument. Students who do not meet the criteria of English proficiency on the ELP screener are identified as English Learners. Students maintain that status until they achieve ELP on the WIDA ACCESS for ELLs, which is the annual ELP assessment in Illinois. | | | | Date Created: | 01-15-2020 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000082700 Original UID: 195396 FIRST WORD: English | |
