This study explored whether approaches to assessment (i.e., ecological culturally informed assessment method) validate and support the Ebonics speaker's Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills and Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency Skills in English language learners. Should this assessment method be more readily assessable and considered instead of implementing the conventional comprehensive educational assessment? The conventional evaluation assessment utilized by school psychologists nationally may not be able to interpret the language of Ebonics due to lack of training and a lack of representation among Black and minority school psychologists. More than 85% of school psychologists identified as White, suggesting that the field continues to not reflect the diversity of stakeholders that school psychologist serve, especially given that the student population is minoritized (Institute of Education Services, 2020). Among the same sample, 4% were Black or African American, 3% were Asian, 1% were Native American, 1% were Arab decent, and 7.6% were identified as being Hispanic or Latin origin (NASP survey, 2020). Furthermore, school psychologists must view how the development of self-efficacy plays a supportive role in language learning (i.e., language-learning experiences that students perceive successful (Leeming, 2017), or seeing non-native peers communicating effectively (Mills, 2009)). Douglas et al. (2024) identified the establishment of verbal development encompassing learning through imitation, duplication of outcomes, understanding consequences of observed behaviors, acquiring new reinforcers, incidental unidirectional and bidirectional naming and more. The ecological culturally informed evaluation and other assessment measures will formulate general education levels or/and special education eligibility (NASP, 2019).
