English Language Learners/Limited English Proficient students may not receive a failing grade if instructional strategies, materials, and assessment have not been modified in order to meet their instructional needs. In addition, these modifications and strategies must be documented in teacher lesson plans. School administrators in charge of teacher evaluation are responsible for ensuring that teachers are modifying instructions and assessment in order to provide comprehensible instruction to English Language Learners/Limited English Proficient.

The grade placement shall be age-appropriate for English Language Learners/Limited English Proficient.

No student will be retained solely due to his/her level of English language proficiency.

400.17— Teacher QualificationsThe federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 allows parents to request information regarding the teaching qualifications of their child’s teacher. A parent has a legal right to ask about his or her child’s teacher’s certification type, subject area and grade-level coverage. A parent may also ask what degree(s) a teacher has earned and his or her major area of study. If a child is receiving services from one or more instructional aides, a parent may also request information regarding the aides’ qualifications.

The state of Florida requires Sarasota County Schools to notify parents if their child’s teacher is teaching “out of field” or is not yet certified in the area her or she is assigned to teach.

Parents may request this information by contacting the Human Resources department of the Sarasota County Schools at 927-9000.
