Equity in Action for Dually Identified Multilingual Learners: From Linguistically Appropriate Goals to Reclassification and Appropriately Exiting from IEP Services

This session will provide practical tools for writing and monitoring linguistically appropriate IEP goals for dually identified Multilingual Learners, with a focus on using SMART goals and effective progress tracking. It will also support understanding of the reclassification process, including the use of language development data, domain exemptions, and appropriate documentation to support reclassification decisions. Participants will deepen their expertise in distinguishing language acquisition needs from disabilities and appropriately exiting Multilingual Learners from special education.
This session is appropriate for educators, administrators, and service providers of all levels of expertise.

District and site teams are highly encouraged to attend.
