The Language Proficiency Screener reports directly to the Director of Multilingual Learners.

The Language Proficiency Screener will be responsible for assessing students both new to the district as well as students who are actively enrolled in the district to determine language proficiency in both English and native language as appropriate. These assessment results will be used to determine MLL program selection for students as well as to provide information to school-based Teacher Support Teams in making decisions about students in the RtI process.

The Language Proficiency Screener is expected to work collaboratively with the other Language Proficiency Screeners to ensure that all potential and current MLL students are assessed for language proficiency using state and district adopted screening measures and when possible and appropriate, native language assessments measuring proficiency in all domains of language.

In addition, the Language Proficiency Screener will administer all other assessments deemed appropriate by RIDE and/or the district related to language, literacy and the other core content areas to support MLL program placement recommendations.

In addition to analyzing the assessment results, the Language Proficiency Screener will also, when appropriate, support the Student Information and Registration Center in reviewing and analyzing the educational history and student records of incoming potential MLLs in order to make program recommendations to parents based on the district student placement matrices.

The Language Proficiency Screener will meet with parents to discuss program options and provide parents with the appropriate literature about programming to help ensure that parents make the most informed decision in accordance with the State and federal Regulations Governing the identification and placement of Multilingual Learners.
