[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think if you write on the intake form whether ‘any other languages are spoken at home’ then they evaluate the child for esl.   [/quote]

This is the answer. [/quote]

OP - Yes evaluate is fine, but if he passed the test then why the pullouts all year?[/quote]

Pullouts are a GOOD thing.  He's getting help with reading.

To quote a great movie,
"What's your damage, Heather?"[/quote]

Pullouts are BAD if the child doesn’t need them (and sometimes bad even if the child is behind in the subject). [/quote]

And the term "pullout" suggests the student is missing some instruction in the gen ed classroom. Our only pullouts occur during scheduled small group time where every student works with a teacher on their level. All students receive tier 1 instruction as a whole group in math, ELA, phonics, writing, science/social studies. [/quote]

… first of all, it is definitely not true that pullouts only happen during “small group” time. Schools are under no obligation to coordinate like that to minimize loss of instruction time and in my experience, they don’t.

Second of all, if the kid does not need ESL, then an ESL small group is not on their level. [/quote]
