ESL PROGRAM REVIEW

NAME________________________________________________________________
DISTRICT_____________________________________________________________
GRADE LEVEL/SUBJECT AREA___________________________________________

Please reflect on your school’s ESL Program. Use your own judgement. Consider each
of the services that your district is required to provide, see Wright p.89, Box 4.3 and
describe whether you think they are provided adequately or not. If they are provided
adequately, describe what is being done to meet ELs’ needs. If you think they are not
adequate, suggest recommendations for improvement. Write at least 5 responses for
each item.
ESL Program Services should include:
1. Identifying and assessing all potential ELs;

2. Providing appropriate instruction to ELs;

3. Staffing and supporting an ESL program;

4. Providing Els meaningful access to all curricular and extracurricular programs;

5. Avoiding unnecessary segregation of ELs;

6. Evaluating ELs for special education and providing dual services;

7. Meeting the needs of EL students who opt out of ESL programs and services;

8. Monitoring and exiting ELs from ESL programs and services;

9. Evaluating the effectiveness of the school’s ESL program regularly;

10. Ensuring meaningful communication with parents of ELs who may not speak
English.
