Placement/Support and the CFR
• This project focused on providing strong practices for both reception/orientation and programming/placement.
• Documents were created with the intent to help guide schools to ensure that EAL students receive the best possible reception/orientation.
• We also created systems and procedures to assist teachers in determining and communicating CFR levels. We focused on communicating and informing all parties involved (teacher/student/parent).
