Our school MLL program is a state-mandated program. When a student enters the school, parents complete a home language survey and our MLL instructor screens potential MLL learners to determine their level of English proficiency by using an online assessment called the WIDA Screener. If it is determined that the student is eligible for MLL services, then the student enters the program. Each spring the students take an online English proficiency assessment (ACCESS for ELLs 2.0) to measure the progress that each student has made with respect to their proficiency in the English Language. If the student reaches a certain benchmark (4.5) and meet other multiple measures, then the student exits the MLL program.
