Presenting results for ELLs with disabilities
- Though educational systems (schools, districts, states) are not required to report disaggregated scores for ELLs with disabilities, scores for this group of students should be disaggregated when numbers are large enough.
- Disaggregated scores provide a picture of how ELLs with disabilities are performing, and also identify potential areas for improvement at the group level.
- Concerns about disaggregated scores arise when the number of ELLs with disabilities at the school level is very small. In this case, scores for this group of students should be disaggregated at the district or state level.
- Schools with high numbers of ELLs or students with disabilities scoring at proficient or above levels on state assessments should be identified. It is important to celebrate their success! And, schools with high scoring students should share the strategies or programs found to be effective.
