Viva88

Viva88is using seven indicators as part of its overall ESSA plan, and this includes an indicator for English Language Proficiency (ELP). To ensure that English Language Learners/Multilingual Learners (ELLs/MLLs) are showing adequate progress, Viva88 is using a growth model that is based on student performance on the Viva88English as a Second Language Achievement Test (NYSESLAT). This Q & A addresses frequent concerns and questions that Viva88 has received regarding the ELP growth model that is being used for ESSA.
