Question 3

How do I edit a student in the ELL Management Portal?

Accepted Answer

On the Students page, double click on any field in the table to edit it.

Or you can click on any row in the Students table and an edit button will appear. Click on the Edit button to edit that student's details.

Question 4

How do I delete a group?

Accepted Answer

On the Groups page, select the Mark for Deletion in the Delete field for a group you want deleted. These records are then deleted on a schedule, about every hour or so. Deleting groups and deleting students are a little different than most other records which get deleted immediately.

Question 5

What are ELL Student Plans?

Accepted Answer

The ELL Student Plans are a great way to share detailed information about your ELLs with colleages, admin, or parents.

The plans include:

Student Background Information
Can Dos Based on Assessment Results
Recommended/Required Instructional Accommodations
Recommended/Required Testing Accommodations
Goals in Different Language Domains
Notes

Not all information needs to be filled in if it is unecessary for your situation. If you have a Student Plan template that you'd like to see added, contact support and we will see if we can make it possible.

Question 6

How do I filter or search a table when I have created a lot of records?

Accepted Answer

You can use the Search bar above the table on the page to search for records by typing.

Or you can click on the Table Filters dropdown in the sidebar to filter only the records you want to view.

Question 7

What is the Lock to All Students filter?

Accepted Answer

The Lock to All Students filter lets you show students without other groups. Since students can be in more than 1 group, the same records can show up in the table more than once for each group that is displayed and the student is part of. To lock to all students simply:

Set the "Lock to All Students" filter to "Yes".
If you want to filter by groups again, set the "Lock to All Students" filter to nothing or hit the Clear Filters button.

Heads up: When a student is in more than 1 group, their records will show up more than one time in the same table if you have all your groups showing, once for each group that they are in.

Question 8

How do I find materials I need in the membership?

Accepted Answer

Because teachers' goals for their students as well as students' situations vary greatly from school to school, I've provided numerous ways to sort through a wide variety of resources and tools inside the membership.

One way is to use the Kid-Inspired ESL Assessment which you can download for free here: https://kid-inspired.com/english-language-assessment/
You may also find the Foundations for Fantastic Classes course inside the membership helpful as well for deciding which materials to use with your students.
There is also a quick Level Chooser Assistant where you can answer a few questions and get an idea of leveling (You can find this on the homepage).
Finally, since you know (or will know) your students best, you can dig into the different levels yourself and test things out by starting a little low and working your way up to where students are productively challenged.
