Description¶
A California Department of Education practitioner guide providing research-based guidance on assessment, pre-referral supports, and special-education referral practices for English learners with disabilities.
Components¶
- California Practitioners' Guide for Educating English Learners with Disabilities (CDE, 2019): A state practitioner guide the report describes as reflecting "state-of-the-art research in supporting young multilingual learners" and incorporating promising practices with guidance for implementing them. The Learning Collaborative noted there is not currently widespread implementation of the strategies and practices reflected in the guide, and the report's central recommendation is to fund professional learning for consistent, widespread implementation of its practices. (Burr et al. (2022))
Claims¶
- Multidisciplinary teams often provide home language support and delay referral to rule out lack of opportunity to learn before evaluating ML children [+W]
- Systems constraints on pre-referral include lack of appropriate observation tools, over-identification fears, and COVID-19 effects [+W]
