Each student has an ESL Progress Report/Individual Education Plan. Progress is documented on the learners' progress report at several times throughout the cycle of instruction. Go to ESL Progress Report.

Initial: By the end of the second week, instructors complete their initial evaluation of the learners and record their assessment of speaking/listening, reading, and writing skills for each student. It is imperative to consult the REEP Level Descriptions in completing this evaluation.

Mid-cycle: On the back of the ESL Progress Reports, instructors comment on the student's progress made toward achieving the language skills needed for a higher level. A rating of good or excellent indicates that a learner is likely to meet the language requirements for a higher level by the end of the cycle. A rating of satisfactory or fair indicates that a learner is making progress but may not be able to meet the requirements for promotion to a higher level by the end of one instructional cycle. In the comments section, teachers point out student's strengths and specific examples of progress made as well as suggestions for improvement.

Teachers hold individual conferences with the students to discuss progress to date and make suggestions for the second half of the cycle.

Final: Instructors complete their final evaluation of the learners and record their assessment of speaking/listening, reading, and writing on the front of the ESL Progress Report. It is imperative to consult the REEP Level Descriptions for this evaluation.

Teachers hold individual conferences with the students to discuss progress and the student's level for the next instructional cycle. On the back of the progress report, the teacher and the student sign and date the reports and make comments. The teachers records the level recommended for the learner in the subsequent cycle.
