The WIDA scale identifies by ability and skill instead of grade level","Description":"Special education identifies students as having a 2nd or 3rd grade reading level or a 4th grade math level. In the last 10 years the curriculums of lower grades have changed such that 1st graders now are learning past 3rd grade skills. By defining a reading\/math identifier like the WIDA scale teachers would have more on the spot information of special education students. Additionally, in SIS a teacher can scroll over an ELL students red flag to know their WIDA level. Imagine if that were the case for special education students?","Link":[],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"Conversational protocols will be used to discuss this idea\r\nPros\/Cons\r\nEducational practice","Presenter":["Frank Pinzarrone"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Kensington Health Science Academy"],"PresenterEmail":["fpinzarrone@philasd.org"],"ScheduleSlotID":142,"ScheduleLocationID":32,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":"Special Education Level Identification System (SELIS) would be based on the 7 levels of comprehension in ELA and the set skills and applications in Math","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":10}}
