  11. ESSA Implications for English Learners

  12. ESSA and English Learners • “English learners” replaces “LEP” • Reauthorizes Title III: Language Instruction for English Learners and Immigrant Students • Requires that states establish and implement standardized statewide entry and exit procedures for Els • Requires State-determined accountability systems under Title I to include goals and interim targets for English language proficiency (ELP) for ELs

  13. ESSA and English Learners • ELP accountability for ELs has been moved from Title III to Title I • Allows states to include former ELs in the EL subgroup for academic content accountability up to four years after they have been reclassified • Requires Title I LEAs to conduct outreach, including regular meetings for parents of ELs

  14. ESSA and English Learners • Adds subgroup reporting requirements for Title III LEAs: -ELs with disabilities -Long-term ELs (i.e. ELs who have not achieved proficiency after 5 years of being initially classified as an EL)

  15. ESSA and English Learners • Requires each Title I State  plan to identify the languages other than English that are present to a “significant extent” and indicate the languages for which annual student assessments are not available and are needed • Expands the uses of funds under the competitive grant program in Title I, Part B to include developing or improving ELP assessments or assessments in languages other than English

  16. ESSA Guidance • ED has already issued guidance answering some of the most pressing questions regarding the transition to the new law, such as whether states need to submit consolidated state plans this summer (No plans due this summer!) • We recently announced that we plan to issue guidance in late summer and early fall on the changes in the law that impact some of our most vulnerable students: • Students in foster care • Homeless students • English learners • The Department does plan to release guidance in other areas where states, districts, and other stakeholders have requested support. Stay tuned!

  17. ESSA Regulations • ED has announced that we would regulate on the following this year (with no plans for additional regulations): • Title I-A assessments • The requirement that Title I, Part A funds be used to supplement, not supplant state and local funds • Title I, Part B innovative assessment demonstration authority • Accountability, including consolidated state plans and data reporting • Negotiated rulemaking: Title I, Part A assessments and supplement not supplant went through the negotiated rulemaking process this spring

  18. ESSA Regulations overview: status & next steps Title I, Part A assessments • Negotiating committee reached consensus on all assessment topics • Proposed regulations that the committee agreed upon will be out for public comment this summer Title I, Part B assessments • Proposed regulation is being drafted, expect to be out for public comment this summer Supplement, not supplant • Negotiating committee did not reach consensus • The Department is taking the committee’s input into account and continues to seek input from other stakeholders as we move forward with the regulatory process Accountability, State Plans, Data Reporting • Proposed regulations out for public comment, comments due August 1

  19. ESSA Proposed regulations: accountability, STATE Plans, data reporting Accountability Proposed Regulations • Move beyond a one-size-fits-all approach • Give states flexibility and supports local solutions • Guarantee a clear role for stakeholders • Enhance equity and maintains civil rights protections • Envision transitions to new systems by SY17-18 • Responds to input from stakeholders that states and communities are eager to move to new holistic, multi-measure systems. • Public comments for ED on the transition timeline and other provisions due August 1

  20. ESSA Proposed Regulations, continued State Plans Proposal • Requires broad, robust, transparent engagement • Reduces burden on each SEA • Encourages States to think comprehensively and leverage funding • Helps remove “silos” between programs and funds Data Reporting Proposal • Clarifies new reporting requirements for States and LEAs • Implement these requirements by: • Clarifying definitions • Streamlining and simplifying reporting requirements • Ensuring report cards are accessible and clear for parents

  21. essa Technical assistance • $10 million in TA funds to help states and districts focus on low performing schools by creating a TA network • The goal of the network is to build the capacity of States and districts by: • Scaling up effective systemic approaches and practices • Facilitating the building of sustainable learning communities • Identifying and sharing effective practices

  22. Notice of proposed rulemaking • Released May 31, 2016 • Comments due by August 1, 2016 • Submit your comments through the Federal eRulemaking Portal or via postal mail, commercial delivery, or hand delivery. We will not accept comments submitted by fax or by email or those submitted after the comment period. • Go to www.regulations.gov to submit your comments electronically. • If you mail or deliver your comments about these proposed regulations, address them to Meredith Miller, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW., room 3C106, Washington, DC 20202-2800.

  23. Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)…”it creates the opportunity to reclaim the goal of a well-rounded education for all students: an education that not only includes strong numeracy and literacy but access to science, social studies, the arts, physical education and health, and the opportunity to learn a second or third language”.“The challenge for us, is will we act, will we take the actions necessary to become who we ought to be. Let us act with urgency on behalf of the civil rights of our children, let us ensure that school is a pathway to opportunity”. John B. KingJr. U.S. Secretary of Education
