[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To keep an ESL position? The school needs a certain number of students, in a certain category or maybe falling among categories, or the school loses an ESL/other teaching position. The position is gone, it's no longer funded. A teacher is lost. IDK. Call me suspicious.[/quote] Yeah, what EL teachers want is BIGGER caseloads to manage given impossible scheduling constraints. In my district, kindergarten students are assessed individually by well trained screeners to determine their need for services. That’s because 4 and 5 year olds can’t yet take computer based tests very well. After that, states use standardized measures like the WIDA test, and teachers do not score any part of the assessment—it’s like an SOL.[/quote]
