• “The student has difficulty turning in his assignments for science class, partly for personal reasons, mostly language reasons. The students speaks English, but can barely read or write it. The magical moment occurred while integrating science and arts. The objective was to draw a cell related to the function of the organism. Well, it turns out this student is an extremely talented artist and was able to write a reflection piece of equal quality (of mind) because it was on his cell drawing. The students turned in all his labs on time. The art bridged the language content gap!”
New York State Department of Education

“In New York State, learners of English as a second language are students classified as “limited English proficient” (LEP) because they come from a home where a language other than English is spoken and score at below “Proficiency” on the LAB-R or score at the Beginning, Intermediate, or Advanced level of English as measured by the NYSESLAT. Diverse student profiles exist within the overall classification of LEP. There are LEP/ELLs who may be gifted and there are many with a high level of proficiency in their native language. Others may not be able to read or write in their native language because they have had a limited or interrupted formal education in their own country. Finally, there is a population of LEP students who have been identified as having special needs and have been referred for special education services. All of these LEP students must receive instruction in ESL.”
**This website is highly useful when it comes to researching exactly what is expected of teachers according to state mandated standards.
