Order Instructions
Work with your mentor teacher or administrator to select three ELLs or bilingual/dual language learners at varying English language proficiency levels to work with at the school where you are completing your field experience. You may include students whom you have worked with in previous assignments.
Discuss the ELP assessment results and summative assessment data for the three ELL or bilingual/dual language learners with your mentor teacher. Be sure to specify the English language proficiency levels of your students.
Assess the oral language proficiency of each student with the SOLOM. You should also assess their social and academic language by observing each student during normal instruction and administering the BICS and CALP Checklist from Appendix B of your textbook. Be sure to keep your field notes.
Document the locations and hours you spend in the field on your Clinical Field Experience Verification Form.

Your SOLOM results for each student with a comment regarding how these results compare to the assessment accommodations already in place for each student;
An analysis of your findings from the BICS and CALP Checklist for each student with a comment regarding how these results compare to your observations and other summative assessment data;
Specific examples of your recommended assessment accommodations to be utilized for each student throughout the semester. Include an analysis of how all of the assessment data that you looked at informed your assessment plan.
An analysis of the advantages and limitations of the assessment accommodations that have been recommended as well as the different types of assessment accommodations that have been utilized for each student.
