State’s Process of ELL Identification and Placement


Assessment Description

Federal and state guidelines require schools to identify, assess, and classify potential ELL/bilingual students once a Home Language Survey (HLS) has been completed on initial enrollment. Each state has its own assessment for screening students to determine if they qualify for language services or are deemed fluent English speakers and do not qualify.

Research Alabama’s Department of Education and/or Montgomery Public School District’s website to identify the identification and placement process into language support programs based on an ELP screening assessment. You may find it helpful to research the assessment company’s website for additional information.
