When should the accommodation be removed?
When should the accommodation be removed?
The Provide Word Bank accommodation may be removed when the student demonstrated increased content vocabulary and can generate this vocabulary with ease during assessments. Most MLs do not require the word bank accommodation beyond the Developing level (3), but some students above Developing occasionally require this accommodation when new material is being introduced. 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.
