| Re: ISAT ELL Accommodations
As you are looking to get information related to Assessment Accommodations for English Language Learners of ISAT, so here I am providing following information: Eligibility for ELL Accommodations Have been properly identified as having limited English proficiency (LEP) using Home Language Survey results, and Placement Test results (W-APT), or ACCESS for ELLs® results (an overall composite proficiency level below 4.8 and/or a literacy composite proficiency level below 4.2) Do not possess sufficient literacy skills in English to participate meaningfully in state academic achievement testing without ELL accommodations. Timing/Scheduling Accommodations: Extended assessment time: An extra 10 minutes allowed impromptu at the end of a standard time administration if testtakers are still engaged when standard time has elapsed. Pre-planned extended-time sessions that exceed an extra 10 minutes. Test Directions Scripted test directions written in native language read to student Repetition of scripted directions (English or native language) based on student request Restatement of directions in simplified/modified English (unscripted) Emphasis on key words in directions Verifying the student’s understanding by having the student repeat the directions in English As you want to get information about Assessment Accommodations for English Language Learners of ISAT, so here I am attaching a file that has complete details.
