-Teachers have English language proficiency (ELP) standards that they must follow to ensure students are learning at the right pace.
-The ELP standards help teachers classify where ELL students are proficient in English.
-Assessments let teachers see what the student knows and is still struggling with. ]]> 2018-04-03 01:27:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hughesk470/k9mgk8fowvb1/wish/247965341 Impact on Students hughesk470 https://padlet.com/hughesk470/k9mgk8fowvb1/wish/247965654 -Some schools purposely put ELL students at the wrong proficiency level to meet their quota.

-There is a performance gap between non-ELL and ELL students.]]> 2018-04-03 01:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hughesk470/k9mgk8fowvb1/wish/247965654 Impact on Teachers hughesk470 https://padlet.com/hughesk470/k9mgk8fowvb1/wish/247966097 -Teachers give assessments to ELL students not knowing if the test is valid or not.
-If a test is not valid, the teacher must create an assessment that is and in a way the student will comprehend and understand.
-The standards created by the NCLB act has left no time for teachers or administrators to check the assessments for validity.
-Teachers do not have the proper tools to administer and create assessments for ELL students. ]]> 2018-04-03 01:33:21 UTC https://padlet.com/hughesk470/k9mgk8fowvb1/wish/247966097 Interesting Facts hughesk470 https://padlet.com/hughesk470/k9mgk8fowvb1/wish/247966339 -Large-scale assessments do not clearly state who falls under the ELL category.
