Well, sort of. Most ESL students are placed into a normal curriculum and the teachers are expected to “adjust” their expectations for ESL students based on their abilities in the English language. For the majority of incoming ESL students that may mean that teachers are required to have all work, including notes, explanations, quizzes, daily work, and tests be translated into the student’s first language. So, not really. This has been my experience at the high school level, I have no idea how it is handled in the lower grades.
