Instructor Feedback
You've added quite a bit of good material to this article. I have a few suggestions outlined below.

This sentence is awkward and needs to be revised: “The Every Student Succeeds Act or ESSA passed in 2015 replaced No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), also requires all ELLs attending public schools from grades K–12 to be assessed in multiple language domains, such as listening, reading, writing, and speaking.”

I suspect taking out the part about replacing NCLB will fix it.

The section you added to Assessment Biases provides some good information but it could use a tighter organization. Here’s my suggestion with some revisions to the wording: "Aside from the students' linguistic repertoire not being taken into account in assessments, research has shown that students have a difficult time associating the content presented to them IN ASSESSMENTS with their personal lives. [1] THIS lack of variety in assessments MAY restrict TEACHERS’ ability TO accurately determine the academic progress of a student and INTRODUCE biases THAT MAY RESULT in lower test scores."

Take out “Much” from the “Use of Native Language” header.

In this sentence change “drags back” to “impedes”: “Most ELLs find themselves using their native language most of the time rather than practicing their newly language and this drags back the progress they had made earlier on. “

This section you added needs a citation: When using the acquired second language, many ELLs enter a stage called "the silent period." During this period the ELL is familiar with the language but does not use it. This period of not speaking can last 6 weeks or more depending on the person.

This sentence needs some wordsmithing: Although assessments in schools are the common, the reliability of this in terms of language proficiency and learning disability can be questionable considering their limitations. Suggested revision: Although assessments in schools are common, their in terms of language proficiency and learning disability can be questionable considering their limitations.

Take out this note because readers can follow the footnote if they are interested: (See the "WIDA Focus On: ELLs with Specific Learning Disabilities" fact sheet]for a detailed map breakdown by state on percentages of ELLs identified into this category.)

Integrate this section you added into the prior paragraph that talks about identifying students for special ed: A"lthough a language barrier is present, when classifying the disability or impairment intrinsic and extrinsic factors considered are: Environment The child as a whole Students' strengths during meaningful activities Student progression in relation to their peers" Lndmayg (talk) 15:21, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
