Before referring ELL students for specialized instruction please gain information on the following:

The information to be gathered answers specific questions critical to separating difference from disability considerations:
 * a) Education: Has the student been in school before? Are there gaps in the student's education experiences? Sufficient intensity of instruction?
 * b) Home language: Are languages other than English spoken in the student's home? What languages other than English does the student speak? Is the student maintaining an ability to communicate with his/her family members?
 * c) Language proficiency: What is the student's language proficiency and literacy? Is the student developing the home language at a normal rate?
 * d) English: Does the student need assistance with learning English? Is the student acquiring English at a normal rate?
 * e) Achievement: What is the student's level and rate of academic achievement? Is this normal for the general student population in your district/school? Specific population of the student?
 * f) Behavior: Is the student's emotional stability developmentally and culturally appropriate? Are there individual or family circumstances that may explain the observed behavior?
 * g) Adaptation: What is the student's level of acculturation? Is the student at risk for culture shock? Is the student adapting to our school at a normal rate?
