ESOL- BICS and CALP checklist for progress monitoring for PARENTS!

This is a sheet I made based on the most common questions my ESOL parents ask me: "Is my child being polite in class?" "Does she know how to ask for help?" Does my kid understand what they ask them to know?"

I fill out this sheet every month and so far the parents feel more and more comfortable knowing all about it. I translate it for them, but by the time they have received it twice they are familiar with what it says and they look forward to see more check marks.

I am including both, the original EXCEL so you can alter it as you need, and the PDF form if you are cool with the original version. It includes teacher notes and the most common things we look for as far as BICS, CALP, behaviors and other things to look for.

NOTE: I was only able to upload the Excel but I will be happy to send the PDF if you request it.
