According to Chapter 71A of the Massachusetts General Laws, which of the following statements accurately describes current state educational policy regarding the education of English learners in public schools?  \nA. English learners should be educated through SEI programs; other approved language programs, such as transitional bilingual education or dual language, are also allowed.  \nB. English learners should receive instruction in all subjects in English only, although they may receive support in SEI settings for one complete school year before being transferred to general education settings.  \nC. English learners of the same age should be placed in the same classrooms, regardless of their first language or level of English language proficiency, in order to promote development of social skills and bonds.  \nD. English learners who are entering kindergarten should be placed in general education classrooms, while English learners entering other grade levels should be placed in an SEI program.  \nCorrect Response: A. According to Chapter 71A of the Massachusetts General Laws, as amended by Chapter 386 of the Acts of 2002 (Question 2), English learners should be educated through sheltered English immersion (SEI) during a period typically intended to last no more than one school year. In November of 2017, Chapter 138 of the Acts of 2017 (HB4032) further amended Chapter 71A to give public schools more flexibility in meeting the needs of English learners. According to Chapter 138, school districts can maintain their current SEI programming or use an alternative program, such as transitional bilingual education, that meets federal and state standards. Dual-language programs continue to be allowed under Chapter 71A as amended by Chapter 138. B, C, and D describe practices that are neither mandated in Massachusetts nor supported by research in second-language acquisition.  \n2. The Alternate ACCESS for ELLs™ is an English language proficiency (ELP) assessment that monitors students' progress in acquiring academic English and was designed specifically to meet federal accountability requirements for the assessment of English learners who fall into which of the following categories?  \nA. English learners who are students with limited or interrupted formal education (SLIFE)  \nB. English learners who have significant cognitive disabilities that prevent them from participating in the state ELP assessment, even with accommodations  \nC. English learners who are enrolled in a public prekindergarten or kindergarten program  \nD. English learners whose discrepancy between their Oral Language and Literacy scores on the state ELP assessment is greater than three levels, even taking into account their scaled scores  \nCorrect Response: B. ACCESS for ELLs® 2.0, the WIDA Consortium's English language proficiency (ELP) assessment, meets federal requirements under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) for monitoring and reporting English learners' progress toward English language proficiency.
