About this Event: English Learner (EL)/Multilingual (ML) students thrive when they receive language programming and services at the "just right" time to meet their needs. The Multiple Indicator Protocol (MIP) is a tool available in Wisconsin to help teachers gather additional evidence to support a student’s need for continued language education services or to exit services.
In this interactive, two-hour virtual session, participants will:
- Gain a clear understanding of how to use the MIP to evaluate student work and determine continued services.
- Explore real-world examples, including evidence aligned with the 2020 WIDA ELD Standards.
- Engage in chats and online discussions to deepen their learning.
