Summary:
|
Through a collaboration of special education and English learner services, an alternate reclassification model for students with moderate and severe disabilities has been developed in order to accurately assess the student's English language proficiency.
Students with disabilities are to be provided the same opportunities to be reclassified as students without disabilities. Local IEP teams may determine the appropriate measures of English language proficiency and performance in basic skills and minimum levels of proficiency on those measures that would be equivalent to an English proficient peer with similar disabilities, in accordance with local reclassification policies based on the four criteria in state law (EC Section 313[f]). Those criteria include:
1-Assessment of English language proficiency using an objective assessment instrument.
2-Teacher evaluation
3-Parental input and consultation
4-Student's score on an assessment of basic skills
