The Challenge
To create a way to monitor and support schools in implementing the RTI model with ELL students.

Initial Meetings
• Do we agree?
• Brainstorm the issues: progress monitoring, decision rules creates confusion, newcomers and interventions, and core instruction.
![Page 10: A System for Supporting Service Delivery to ELL Students](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051116/56815081550346895dbe7fa4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
We agreed on core principles
“If your students have been in the country only a short time and have limited English proficiency, not meeting grade-level benchmark is an indication that they need more instruction. It does not mean that they have a learning difficulty.”
Linan-Thompson & Vaughn, 2007

Challenge #1: Do we have the answers?
• Research review– English Language Development– Reading– Progress monitoring– Bilingual education
• Each member brings research article or topic to meeting

We do the research ourselves
• Progress monitoring ELD
• Collaboration with Universities
• Action research

EXAMPLE
AssessmentWe must think carefully about…
![Page 22: A System for Supporting Service Delivery to ELL Students](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051116/56815081550346895dbe7fa4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
IES Recommendation #1: Screen and Monitor in
English•Grades K-1:–phonological processing–letter knowledge–word and text reading
•Grades 2-5–ORF
Level of Evidence: Strong
![Page 23: A System for Supporting Service Delivery to ELL Students](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051116/56815081550346895dbe7fa4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Screening and Progress Monitoring
•Use the same measures and procedures that you would with native English speakers•Use these data to identify English learners who require additional instructional support and to monitor their reading progress over time• Monitor frequently
![Page 24: A System for Supporting Service Delivery to ELL Students](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051116/56815081550346895dbe7fa4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Schools can use the same benchmarks for English learners and make adjustments in instruction when progress is insufficient.
“It is the opinion of the panel that schools should not consider below-grade-level performance in reading “as normal” or something that will resolve itself when oral language proficiency in English improves”
![Page 25: A System for Supporting Service Delivery to ELL Students](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051116/56815081550346895dbe7fa4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Native Language Assessment
• Assess in the students native language if they are receiving native language instruction (i.e., IDEL)
• Continue to monitor in English
![Page 26: A System for Supporting Service Delivery to ELL Students](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051116/56815081550346895dbe7fa4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Multiple sources of data are very important!– DIBELS– Diagnostic reading data– Classroom data– Functional language data– ELPA/L.A.S. – OAKS– CBM WE
![Page 27: A System for Supporting Service Delivery to ELL Students](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051116/56815081550346895dbe7fa4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The Holy Grail of Monitoring Language Development: WE
CBM• CWS, TWW & TUW• What does CWS assess?– Fluency with:• Spelling, conventions, syntax, semantics
• CWS and other measures of writing and reading
![Page 28: A System for Supporting Service Delivery to ELL Students](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051116/56815081550346895dbe7fa4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

WE CBM in TTSD w/ ELLs
• Development of norms• Screening & Progress Monitoring• As a measure of writing and overall
language development• Very well received by teachers of
ELLs

Cream
• Which assessments do you feel give you information about your ELL students?
Coffee
• How can you use DIBELS as a tool to provide more support to ELL students?

Challenge #2: How do we provide technical
assistance? • Side by side file reviews
• On-site observations
• Join EBIS meetings
• Provide recommendations
![Page 33: A System for Supporting Service Delivery to ELL Students](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051116/56815081550346895dbe7fa4/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Example: Cohort group
• Look at cohort group
A cohort group is defined as at least three students with similar language levels, educational experiences, and cultural backgrounds (such as length of time in country, language in the home, language of instruction, and length of time in ELL).
• Monitor progress carefully• Look at progress in English language

Challenge #3: Are we telling schools to do the
right thing?
• Annual review of the EBIS handbook.– Now reviewing reading protocol and
decision rules.– Should we have a separate one for
ELLs?• To eliminate curricular chaos
• Review of 3rd tier intervention students, curriculum, and referral rates.
![Page 37: A System for Supporting Service Delivery to ELL Students](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051116/56815081550346895dbe7fa4/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Fidelity to curriculum
– Is the most qualified teacher teaching the kids who need to learn the most.
Fidelity to research-based instructional procedures
– High pacing (high rate of student opportunities to respond)
– Corrective feedback– Behavior management
system evident– Students are accurate
before moving on to new material
Fidelity of Implementation
Not a child issue!!
Fidelity to program
– Curriculum decision rules followed (lesson checkouts, mastery tests, etc)
– Is the teacher trained in the curriculum?

• What do you do in your district? How do you support ELLs within our system?

Biggest Challenge #4: How do we empower
staff?
• Case-studies at Literacy Specialist meetings– Goal is to expand to ELL specialists and
Learning Specialists
![Page 40: A System for Supporting Service Delivery to ELL Students](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051116/56815081550346895dbe7fa4/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Biggest Challenge #4: How do we empower
staff?
• Continue to provide training, assistance, and coaching– ELD, Sheltered Instruction– Collaboration and teaming for ELL,
Learning and Literacy Specialists– Language development
![Page 41: A System for Supporting Service Delivery to ELL Students](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051116/56815081550346895dbe7fa4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Staff need to…
• Think• What do we know about this student?• What do we know about learning disabilities?
• Problem-solve• Is the intervention matched to student need?• How does the intervention fit with core and
ELD instruction?
Coordinate• How can we connect ELD, interventions, and
core program instruction so we don’t confuse the student?

Be sure to coordinate your
instruction to avoid curricular chaos!
![Page 45: A System for Supporting Service Delivery to ELL Students](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051116/56815081550346895dbe7fa4/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

Areas of Improvement
• Core program
• Eliminating curricular chaos
• Building knowledge and understanding of language development and assessment
• Collaboration and discourse between staff
![Page 47: A System for Supporting Service Delivery to ELL Students](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051116/56815081550346895dbe7fa4/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• How do you assure the best decision making process with ELLs?

Remember to think carefully!
This is a continued conversation that will go on for a VERY LONG TIME.
Accept non-closure and continue to do you best work.
