State Allowable Accommodations and Best Practices

  • The Aiken County ESOL team believes that best practices and appropriate accommodations, adapted to individual student performance and growth, are essential in meeting our MLs’ needs throughout the various levels of language acquisition.  We are committed to supporting classroom teachers in their differentiation and scaffolding of instruction to deliver comprehensible input that promotes equitable access to content and the curriculum.

  • A Note from State Leaders.....

    "Accommodations should be prioritized according to the student’s English proficiency level. All testing accommodations must be consistent with accommodations used in daily instruction. All selected testing accommodations may only be used during the administration of the selected test and only if utilized in daily classroom instruction.

    Language learning is a dynamic process and accommodations will change in relation to language development. Accommodations should be adjusted based on student needs and/or classroom and ESOL teacher observations.

    Accommodations with asterisks (*) can also be considered best practices. "
