Praxis 5422 Practice Question
Before determining class placements for a new student who is an English learner (EL), school counselors should do which of the following?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Interpreting the student’s test scores with caution is essential due to potential language barriers that may affect comprehension and performance. This approach ensures that the student's abilities are assessed fairly, taking into account their language proficiency.
Administering all standardized tests in the native language (B) is impractical, as not all tests are available in every language and may not reflect the student's current proficiency in English. Contacting the previous school for attendance and behavior (C) provides useful context but does not directly address academic placement needs. Lastly, simply ensuring the student was happy at their previous school (D) does not guarantee that the same placement will meet their educational needs in a new environment.
