Following the I-Search process of inquiry, search online to find out how your state or district determines language proficiency levels. Next, look at the suggestions provided for supporting English learners at those different levels. As you conduct this inquiry, answer the following I-Search questions:

1 What do I want to know about how to meet the needs of my ELs who are at different levels of English language proficiency?

2 What answers was I able to find in my search?

3 How can I record and use this information?

4 How can I share this information with others?

5 What did I learn about my students and about doing this kind of research?

6 What do I plan to do to differentiate instruction for ELs at different proficiency levels?

Like other strategies we suggest that you do, I-Search is an especially helpful strategy to use with students at more advanced levels of English proficiency.
