Assessment+and+Placement+Procedures+for+Incoming+ELLs

= = = **Assessment and Placement Upon Enrollment:** =

The following files include a Power Point Presentation and Flow chart concerning the initial assessment and placement procedures for new English Language Learners in the Hattiesburg Public School District in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. I will be adding flow charts concerning these procedures in both Rutherford County School District and Williamson County School District - both in Tennessee - at a later date.


 * It is important to note that the procedures outlined here are in adherence to Federal Laws governing the testing and placement of English Language Learners. It is also important to note that federal law does discuss the assessment of students' L1 (Native Language) proficiency and academic achievement in the L1; however, it is not required of school districts to assess L1 proficiency or academic achievement of ELLs in their L1.
