Consider Manuel

Think back to Manuel, the student mentioned earlier ...

• Tenth grade student who has been speaking English since he was born
• Has oral language skills in Spanish, but limited written language skills
• Has a diagnosis of learning disability, and receives special education services in math and reading

What assessment option might be appropriate for Manuel?

(Consider both assessments based on grade-level content standards, and English language proficiency assessments.)

What other information might you need to make a good participation decision?

How are the assessment options for Manuel similar to (or different from) the possible options for Ben and Fatima?
