Discussions during meeting

I apologize for accidentally deleting the slide I had created during our meeting listing some of the suggestions from the attendees at our meetings for reading-writing tasks.

Just before the end of our meeting, there was a lively discussion about whether to allow accommodations for ESL students who take our FLACS Exams. NYSED did not allow for any use of glossaries or helps for ESL students taking the LOTE SLP or Regents exam. FLACS has been asked to consider granting accommodations in this instance. The FLACS Exam Steering Committee will be discussing this issue at our meeting in March and will announce our decision after this meeting. Please share your thoughts and opinions with us by signing into our FLACS Bulletin Board through your AmemberPro login.
