ELL Reports for Schools & Parents

The Research and Assessment division provides district administrators with examples of reports from English Language Learner (ELL) assessments for schools and parents.  ELL assessments include the Test of Emerging Academic English (TEAE), the Minnesota Student Oral Language Observation Matrix (MN SOLOM), and the Mathematics Test for English Language Learners (MTELL).

For help with interpreting these reports see the Interpretive Guide, which is available below.  Summary test data for schools and districts is located in the Data Downloads and School Report Card sections of the MDE website.

Achievement Level Descriptors (ALDs) from the Individual Student Reports are provided below. ALDs are general descriptions of language proficiency at each of the achievement levels on the language proficiency assessments. Translations in nine languages are provided for parents who use English as an additional language. If you are familiar with using Zip files and would prefer to download one file containing all the ALDs listed below, download the Zip archive file.
