Abstract
This capstone project is designed to teach teachers about mislabeling. Mislabeling is when
students are underrepresented in special education or overrepresented in special education.
Mislabeling is caused by poor assessments, poor collaboration, and lack of background
knowledge on language acquisition. When ELL are misidentified, they are being placed in the
wrong instructional setting. Creating a cycle where they are falling behind monolingual peers
and ELLs are unable catch up to monolingual students due to these misplacements. This project
aims to discuss some literature on common studies showing ELLs, bilinguals, culturally
linguistically diverse, and students of color all being misidentified. Some solutions presented in
this literature are improving collaboration among teachers and ELL professionals. Increasing
available resources for teachers and knowledge on language acquisition. Utilizing professional
developments to teach teachers on implicit bias, culturally diverse teaching, and strategies to
improve daily instruction.
