Abstract
This capstone project aims to provide a solution to the current problem of overidentification of
English Language Learners (ELLs) students in special education programs. ELL students are a
growing population across the country and have been negatively impacted by the lack of
knowledge regarding the issue of misclassification and identification. The research shows that
teachers, administrators, school counselors, and school professionals need support and additional
services to adequately address the concerns of ELL students. Many different strategies can help
prevent the misclassification of ELL students, including professional development, dual
language programs, use of translators, parental involvement, response to intervention approach,
and pre-referral strategies. Since education professionals do not feel competent when making
decisions regarding ELL students, this project presents educational based training by means of
professional development concentrated on identification and proper placement ELL students.
School districts must start providing educators with the knowledge and tools necessary to
accurately classify ELL students so that they may be successful in the future.
