How CCISD identifies students for English learner services
Summary
CCISD described a four-step process to identify students who need English learner services: a home language survey at enrollment, an English check, review by the language proficiency assessment committee, and a notification letter to families. Families may change the survey within two weeks before testing.
Presenter outlined a four-step identification process for emergent bilingual students: "Step 1 is the home language survey, which every single family fills out at enrollment" followed by a short English check, committee review, and a letter to families explaining qualifications and supports.
The presenter emphasized timing rules parents should note: "You can absolutely change your survey answers within 2 weeks of submitting them, but this must be done strictly before your child takes the English check." After the English check, survey answers stand. The presenter also said a language proficiency assessment committee of trained staff reviews test results to determine program placement, and families will receive the decision in their preferred language.
