  3. Action Steps  • District EL Master Plan describes research-based program models for different typologies of EL students (or site) • Specify a LTEL program and appropriate placements • Support development of new courses where necessary • Provide materials and professional development – as high priority for use of resources • System of monitoring placements

  4. Step #7Prevent the creation of LTELs

  5. Start with an early foundation of rich language development (PreK-3) in both English and the home language (where possible) • Attention to the alignment, articulation and transition between preschool and elementary grades • Make room for and provide professional development related to building a powerful ORAL language foundation for literacy • Full curriculum – with language development across all content areas

  6. Step #8:Address the systems issues

  7. These are “systems” issues: • Data systems that do not/can not identify and monitor progress • Unprepared teachers • Lack of appropriate curriculum and materials • Confusion about what schools are “supposed” to do • Misunderstanding and lack of knowledge of the research • Lack of clarity about what constitutes “English Proficiency” • A belief that “we can’t do that”

  8. Proactive District Policies and Support • A definition and system for monitoring • Designated annual benchmark expectations by number of years and English proficiency • Inquiry • Research based programs –including specific responses for LTELs • Disaggregate data • Target professional development for teachers • Create needed courses • Student and parent information

  9. State level recommendations • A standard state definition • State mechanisms to require and collect data for identification, monitoring, planning and response • Real ELD materials! • Research-based, consistent messages as the foundation for accountability

  10. Build capacity among teachers and administrators • Ensure full access • Provide parents with information • Invest in research and innovation

  11. Step #9:Leadership and Advocacy

  12. Because without the power of language, they do not have a voice!
