When should the accommodation be removed?
When should the accommodation be removed?
The Pre-Teach Vocabulary and Key Content accommodation may be removed when the student can read text in class and comprehend vocabulary with the same ease as most of their peers and its meaning without explicit teacher instruction. Most MLs do not require pre-teaching of vocabulary and key content 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.
