Wisconsin schools are required to use a uniform process for both identifying and exiting students from required English language support services. Since ACCESS English language proficiency assessment scores aren't always enough for making eligibility determinations, schools are required at times to use the Multiple Indicator Protocol (MIP) as part of the EL decision-making process. The MIP allows for an in-depth look at students? use of English within academic context. The CESA 2 Language and Cultural Center (LCC)?s two workshops provide participants comprehensive training on when and how to use the MIP. Through case studies and hands- on examples, participants will explore potential criteria, evidence, and artifacts that can be used for classroom observation and portfolio MIPs; and identify a method for communicating the MIP within their local context. Participants sign up for these sessions independently; however, it?s recommended that they are taken together. One workshop focuses on EL identification, and the other focuses on EL Reclassification. These sessions will address the needs of English Learners. They will also address implementing evidence-based activities to meet the comprehensive needs of students.
