This article does a nice job of outlining the facts. ]]> 2018-07-16 20:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/gladkate/ekayeu7sqx4y/wish/270338481 trisa_harris https://padlet.com/gladkate/ekayeu7sqx4y/wish/270375874 Many states have regulations in place to watch for special education programs to monitor referrals. If they notice that 80% of the special education program in one district has ELL students being referred, then state representatives from the state office of education will come and look into the situation.

I also know our school district has people in place to test for special education in Spanish. This really helps to determine if the student has a SLD or disability or not

Although many speak English and another language, their cultural differences and having English as a second language comes with many challenges.  Many of our teachers are bi-lingual and it helps to be able to speak/communicate to certain students, but it helps to have students that work hard at learning English to complete assignments and comprehend what they are learning.]]> 2018-07-17 04:38:14 UTC https://padlet.com/gladkate/ekayeu7sqx4y/wish/270377197 trisa_harris https://padlet.com/gladkate/ekayeu7sqx4y/wish/270378571 ELL students who do not have disabilities probably need differentiation of assignments and work. I like that this abstract (I could not open the article, It was locked) talks about inclusion and helping to include students even if they speak another language. Kids learn quickly and can really grow as they learn in school. I think it creates wonderful opportunities for them to know two languages. In my daughters sixth grade class there were two girls that knew zero English. It was difficult for them to complete assignments. I liked to show them apps that would translate their work into Spanish. They really liked and understood assignments as they read them in Spanish. We used Utahs UEN library and they could listen to any article/book in Spanish]]> 2018-07-17 04:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/gladkate/ekayeu7sqx4y/wish/270378571 trisa_harris https://padlet.com/gladkate/ekayeu7sqx4y/wish/270453766 This was enlightening and very interesting. Many of these ideas would be great for not only ELL students but students in the class with lower levels.

I thought this article had some good ideas for helping the referral process.

This would help me as a teacher to know if the student was "level typical" for their ELL level or if there might be other concerns to possibly watch for in their academics.  You can find the others here - https://www.uen.org/core/englishlanguage/downloads/CAN_DO_Key_Uses_Gr6-8.pdf ]]> 2018-07-20 02:21:24 UTC https://padlet.com/gladkate/ekayeu7sqx4y/wish/270674261 stephanie_taylor4 https://padlet.com/gladkate/ekayeu7sqx4y/wish/270725779 I thought these were some good recommendations for teachers before referring ELL students to SPED.]]> 2018-07-20 21:53:53 UTC https://padlet.com/gladkate/ekayeu7sqx4y/wish/270725779 keri_bushman https://padlet.com/gladkate/ekayeu7sqx4y/wish/270727493 Article produced by the NEA.
