English+Language+Learners

When to check **Yes, limited English is a concern and will be addressed in this IEP:**


 * First, check the home language services to see if it states that the parents marked a language other than English.
 * If so... Then, check to see if the ELL teachers administered a screening assessment.
 * If the screener was given, then check to see if the student is receiving ESL services or not.
 * If the student receives ESL services then you would check "**Yes, limited English is a concern and will be addressed in this IEP"** on page B of the IEP. This means that the student has been identified as needing ESL services by the screener. (They have to be enrolled in the ESL program.)



Where to "address" the limited English within the IEP:
 * Page B - Other information essential to development of this IEP.
 * Indicate that the student qualifies (or qualified in the past) for ELL services. Include their most recent IELDA information.
 * Page F - If the student is currently enrolled in the ELL program, add "SUPPORT FOR SCHOOL PERSONNEL:"
 * The special education teacher will consult with the ELL teacher about ELL/ESL needs minutes each month.
