• The team should expect a lengthy meeting in the late summer or very early fall to make decisions.
• Secondary schools will have to meet much earlier in order

Secondary schools will have to meet much earlier in order to adjust student schedules before school starts.
• Elementary schools may wait a week or two into the school year to let students settle into their classrooms.
• Future meetings will be much shorter and more informal as only one or two students may be consideredmay be considered.
• Some very high students may not be immediately placed, but be monitored for a time.
What to do with mostly advanced students
p• These students should be very successful in the mainstream
• They should not be a sizable percentage of the population
• They should be near exiting
• The team should meet to consider how these student are doing based on monitoring results.

A form for those being monitored
This is not LEPX monitoring. It is for very high students who are not immediately placed in ELD.
• Progress Monitoring is a good way to keep track of the progress students are making throughout the year.
• Aimsweb‐ fluency and MAZE (comprehension) will assess
Ongoing data collection
Aimsweb fluency and MAZE (comprehension) will assess reading progress. Three minute writing prompts will help assess writing and language skills.

gathered in the mainstream or ELD classroom. Using district assessments such as unit tests, district benchmarks, or other data, students may be moved in or out of ELD groups. Documentation of services should be maintained in the student LEP file and electronic records such as in ELLis.
• Placement decisions can be changed during the year.• Secondary: A few students may be placed in classes that are too easy or two hard based on data from spring testing A
Placement changes during the year
too easy or two hard based on data from spring testing. A placement test can be given at the end of the semester to decide if the student can be moved. It should never be used to exit students from the program, but can be used to determine if the student’s schedule can be changed.
