Due Thursday
Imagine that a parent of a student approached you because she has been informed that her daughter meets the criteria for placement into your EL classroom. The parent mentions that she is confused as to why her daughter should be in an EL classroom if she can speak English. However, your review of the student’s scores from the state assessment confirm that she has not reached proficiency and is eligible for placement into the school’s EL program.
