Lisa De Bow ELL Placement Assessment Students that are considered to be ELL students have specific tests and procedures that must be followed by schools and teachers in order to properly assess each student proficiency level in English language. After interviewing the ELL coordinator for our school, assessing the ELL student gives both the home and school environment the information needed to develop a plan to to educate each ELL student in the 21st Century. In this essay, it will examine what test are used and who conducts the test,the methods and procedures used for ongoing classroom assessment of the students,how oral language is assessed,how standardized testing and how and when the exit testing is completed for the school district. All new students are given a home language survey to be completed by parents. This survey will become a part of the student permanent school records. If students speak language other than English those students are given the CELDT(California English Language Development Test). The CELDT test is given annually by either the coordinator or a certified teacher that has complete the online course training to administer this specific test. This test is administered to the student on a one on one basis. The overall goal of the test is for students to score at least a three in each of the four domain areas of speaking,listening,reading and writing. The results scores of the test then identifies the student's level of English proficiency. There are different levels of proficiency pre-emergent,emergent, basic, immediate,advance and longtime English learners. The parents will then receive notification of the results to be sign and returned to school.
