HowtoIdentify
Students
IdentifyingstudentsattheElementaryLevel
Each plan or IEP area for a student fills one slot. For example if one student has a plan in reading and
writing that would fill two slots. A teacher is to fill up to 30 slots. Teachers are to choose students in the
following order:
1) Special education students or students on credentialing plans
2) Bottom 10% and those students with Habits of Mind concerns
Identifying students at the Secondary Level:
A secondary teacher should have no more than 30 students and no fewer than 25. For English
language arts students with reading plans are given the priority. Teachers are to choose students in
the following order:
1) Special education students or students on credentialing plans – World Language teachers will use
students
with ELA plans
2) Habits of Mind concerns, MEAP bubble students, Math/Writing Lab students
*Note: Incoming sixth grade Science/Social Studies teachers use ELA plans. In the future reasoning
criteria will be developed for 5th grade identification.
