SOL OM Results and Discussion
Analyze the how and why of your participant’s SOL OM results.
How does the SOL OM measure a learner’s use of: syntax, semantics, morphology, phonology, language use usage? Which features of the bilingual EL student’s oral language prompted the rater to place him/her at each level in each domain?
Does the overall rating reflect the bilingual EL student’s abilities in the larger academic context? How well do ratings in the individual language ability areas reflect the overall assessment?
What questions did the SOL-OM answer for you as a teacher? Were any areas left unaddressed?
