That testing process is about as clear as mud and extremely time consuming and so very frustrating. I also had to write an LIEP (language IEP), which was also a new frontier with very little guidance. To help the student, we hired a consultant ELL instructor from a neighboring community college to come in to provide the 2 hours per day (reduced each year as students' proficiency in English increased) and also purchased Rosetta Stone for students to use when/if consultant was unavailable. These services were outlined in/decided upon in the LIEP process. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Good luck to you and this student! </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><i>Sally Randolph</i><div>Counselor, A-J</div><div><b>Skiatook High School</b></div><div>Skiatook, OK</div><div>918.396.1790 Ext 2409</div><div><span></span><span></span><br></div><div><i><font size="1" face="comic sans ms, sans-serif" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" color="#ff0000">"Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve." -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.</font></i></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

The switch over to English is much slower for the older students, but if they have been in school their transfer of knowledge is higher. She will need to be in a level I ELL course that will be two hours at minimum. Do you have a formal ELL program that would allow for that? Your ELL department will know to give her the W-APT to get her placement and truly discover how much proficiency if any she has. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Nov 16, 2016 at 3:14 PM, OSRHE EPAS PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:counselors@lists.onenet.net" target="_blank">counselors@lists.onenet.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
