How students are identified and screened?

The Home Language Survey, which is filled out at the time of registration, begins the identification process.  If there is another language spoken in the home other than English, including parents, extended family, or other caretakers in the home, then the Home Language Survey is passed onto the TBE/ELL teacher(s).

If the HLS identified another language other than English spoken in the home, the initial screening process begins.  On the back of the HLS contains an Instructional Language Survey that must be completed and passed onto the TBE/ELL resource staff to set up a time to interview the parent and student.

The initial screening process consists of the following:

• Home Language Survey
• Screener tools- WAPT(grades 1-8), IPT (EC), WIDA- MODEL(K)
• Instructional Language Survey
• View previous student records
• Math assessment (Jr. High only)

After the screening process, if the student qualifies for the TBE/TPI program, parents will be notified by mail of the results within two weeks of the screening.
