GRADING POLICY CHAP. 8
Guidelines on How to Grade ELLs• The level of English language proficiency affects the ELL’s ability to
communicate content.
• Grading should be done with a formative and summative approach
and reflect the ELL’s performance on a variety of assessment tools:
(oral explanations, portfolios and projects) based on the ELL’s
English proficiency level.
THE FLORIDA CONSENT DECREE REQUIRES TEACHERS TO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIBLE INSTRUCTION TO ELL.
USE THE SAME GRADING SYSTEM AS THAT FOR NON-ELLS, BUT EMPLOY A VARIETY OF ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENTS TO
ASSIGN GRADES.
USE WHAT THE STUDENT CAN DO AS THE BASIS FOR GRADING.
DO NOT ASSIGN A LOWER GRADE SOLELY BASED ON LACK OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY OR USE ON SINGLE
ASSESSMENT TO MEASURE MASTERY OF CONTENT
NEW CODE FOR ELL’S STARTING NOW
LA –student that completed the two year follow up period after exiting the ESOL program (LF) and is reported LA for the next two years (years 3-4 after exiting).
FEDERAL INDEX- ELP VS. ELL
•Students who are coded LY, LF or LA are included in the federal index percentage for the school report card for the ELL subgroup.
•However, only those students who are LY will be included in the English Language Progress (ELP) indicator because they are the only ones who take the ACCESS for ELLs assessment. The ELP indicator is based on progress on the ACCESS for ELLs assessment, which only students who are LY on the first day of the assessment window take.
