This workshop provided participants with the opportunity to:

• Examine the unique factors in EL students’ background and make appropriate adjustments to instruction and interventions.
• Choose screening and progress monitoring tools with demonstrated reliability and validity for ELs.
• Make decisions on appropriate growth for each EL student in consideration of their unique contexts.
• Determine appropriate language of intervention in English‐only and all bilingual program models (early‐exit to dual language).
• Apply a framework for least biased assessment in Tier 3 that systematically considers the cultural loading and linguistic demand of assessments.
