Preferred term

exit criteria for English language learner programs  

Definition

  • In accordance with the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 2001 (“No Child Left Behind”), each state must identify processes and criteria to guide school districts in exiting or removing English language learners (ELLs) from a range of specialized services offered to students previously identified by the school as ELL or limited English proficient. The terms exit or reciassification (used synonymously) denote the process in which a student who has previously been identified as limited English proficient exits, or is removed from, programs and services for which they are no longer eligible.
