Interventions for English Language (EL) Learners with Learning Disabilities (1718425)

Students who are acquiring English as a second language and have learning disabilities require intensive supports to ensure that both their language and learning needs are being met. Students with these unique needs require careful and thoughtful instructional interventions and IEP goals that are linguistically appropriate. This workshop will cover the best practices for pre-referral interventions, classroom and statewide assessment, IEP paperwork and goal writing, reclassification and instructional strategies for dually identified students.
Participants will be able to:
* Determine sources of data used to inform interventions and instructional practices across settings
* Gain understanding about appropriate instructional interventions to support EL learners prior to referral for special education
* Discuss best practices for working with EL learners who are eligible for special education
* Gain knowledge about how document in the IEP appropriately when a student is an EL Learner
* Write linguistically appropriate IEP goals
* Determine utilization of alternative tests or supports needed for state testing for both EL testing and state academic testing
* Determine ways of reclassifying students who are ELs with disabilities
