- Before ELL service begins each year, the ELL specialist does
quick assessments with students who received both direct and
consult service the previous year, determines who receives direct
service and consult service, and plans the ELL pull-out groups based
on the assessments.
Objective or Rationale
The objective for evaluating the ELL program at JP Elementary is
to determine if the very limited ELL resources could be used more
effectively in order to maximize benefits to all ELL students. Much
of the ELL programming is dictated by the district, but the school is
responsible for deciding whether their service will be small group pull-
out, in-class support, or a combination of the two.

Possible Solution:
- Get classroom teachers involved. While not all teachers are ELL
teachers, we are all teachers of ELLs. Show staff that good ELL
teaching practices are actually good teaching practices for all
students and give teachers practical ideas to use in their classrooms.
Conclusion
The ELL program at JP Elementary is run in line with the district
recommendations and policies. Assessments are provided by the
district and administered by the ELL specialist. The area that the
school has flexibility is what format the program runs in. At
present, it is an exclusively pull-out program with the ELL specialist
collaborating with classroom teachers. The biggest issue at JP is
that there is very limited time with the ELL specialist in the school,
and so the ELL instruction time is limited. More collaboration and
professional development for teachers would benefit our ELLs
especially since there isn’t ELL service every day.
