SAMOHI HOMEPAGE I ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT
		Redesignating English Learners as "Fluent English Proficient"
		Redesignating English learners is complicated. Students must show that they are fluent in English in more than one way; the CELDT is only one factor out of many. Other variables include: Language Arts (measured using the CST exam) and Performance in a mainstreamed English class (measured using the student's grade) CAHSEE (for Juniors and seniors only) Only when all these criteria are met can a student be redesignated. It often happens that a bilingual student was tested in elementary or middle school for fluency and that student never met the criteria for redesignation. If you are not sure whether a student qualifies for redesignation, complete the checklist below:
		"What was your score on the last CELDT?"
		"What was your score on the last CST (language) Test?"
		"What grade did you get in your last MAINSTREAM English class?"
