Description
Description
Individual Instruction should take place to pre-teach, reinforce, or reteach specific skills and concepts in a one-on-one setting.
Example
Example
Individual Instruction can help lower the student's affective filter and increase confidence when performing tasks that might be very challenging, therefore emotionally risky, for the ML. Examples for use of Individual Instruction:
Introducing high frequency words
Assessing reading skills
Pre-teaching vocabulary
Re-visiting/re-teaching specific content

“Let's go over some words together."
"Let's look at this math problem together."
"Can I read to you only?"
“I don't understand these words. Can you help me?"
"I don't understand this problem. Can you help me?"

When should the accommodation be removed?
When should the accommodation be removed?
The Individual Instruction accommodation should be removed gradually once an ML demonstrates increased literacy and auditory comprehension, increased confidence with academic language, and increased independence in task completion. Most MLs do not require frequent Individual Instruction beyond the Developing level (3), but some students occasionally require this accommodation through the Expanding level (4). If you have questions, or feel your ML requires a change in their ILAP regarding this accommodation, please reach out to the ESOL teacher in your building to discuss the student's needs.
