Case: FCAT Struggle
A student who has been in ESOL instruction for 5 years has been unable to test out. This is not because she is unable to pass the CELLA, but because she is unable to score a 3 on the FCAT. Her parents do not understand how this system works, and are asking for clarification. They do not understand why she is still in and ESOL classroom if she has passed the CELLA. How do you explain this to them, as they have limited english proficiency themselves?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Hi N Gunnin,
I would research the policies for ELL students and the FCAT in your district. I would type those policies up into a hand out and provide the parents with versions in English and their native language. I would conference with the parents and use strategies that you would use with an ELL student to explain the handout to the parents. Highlight important parts, point while you read, define key vocabulary. Identify resources at your school that help students prep for the FCAT. Recommend these resources to the parents. Maybe even recommend a tutor for the student. Can the student speak English well enough to attend the conference and act as a translator between you and the parents? If so, have them bring the student. This also benefits the student as it involves them in important matters relating to their own education, teaching responsibility. Hope this helps!
