This is a checklist of recommendations to review that will help you start off your year. These recommendations are not a mandated protocol, but they do reflect best practices.

Review home language surveys received during the summer (see example here) and administer a state approved language proficiency test with new students.

Send ACCESS for ELLs reports and translations to parents/guardians.

Send entrance/exit/continuance letters to parents/guardians.

Consider a model program visit at one of these schools.

Recommend this online training for mainstream teachers who are new to working with ELLs.

Review the Bilingual Education Administrative Code to confirm that your district is in compliance.
