When should the accommodation be removed?
When should the accommodation be removed?
The Pair Oral and Written Instructions accommodation may be removed when the student demonstrates proficiency in their listening skills. Most MLs do not require pairing oral and written instructions beyond the Emerging level (2), but some students occasionally require this accommodation through the Developing level (3). 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.
