[quote=Anonymous]If a child is evaluated for ESOL services, notification should be sent home, along with the results.

If a child is seen for intervention, parents should be informed of the type of interventions they receive (usual small group for reading or math instruction). Most schools now typically have a classroom teacher and a co-teacher who is either a special education or English learner teacher. They service the students on their caseload as well as providing instruction to other students on a more ad hoc basis. For example, my ESOL teacher meets with lower EL students for a reading group, and does math intervention with both higher EL students and general education students who have similar needs (for example, a group of six kids who need to review place value) while I do interventions with other students (some EL, some not). Classes are so diverse now that students often move flexibly between teachers depending on how we divvy up instruction for the day.

You can and should open communication with the teacher about what kind of support your child receives, and from whom, and why. Usually at back to school night both/all cotechers are present to answer questions.[/quote]
