Updates to North Carolina Read to Achieve September 27, 2015

Personalized Education Plans No longer a requirement of the Excellent Public Schools Act Not required, but not prohibited HB 237 Must identify students at risk for academic failure and not successfully progressing toward grade promotion and graduation PEPs are no longer a requirement of Read to Achieve , but they are not prohibited if your district decides (or your school decides) that they want to continue developing PEPs HB 237 still states the requirements of the last bullet – at risk students must be identified HB 237 was passed in June of 2015

Reading Camps Addition of first and second graders “Demonstrates reading comprehension below grade level as identified through administration of formative and diagnostic assessments” Attendance encouraged Parents have final decision about attendance This budget added funding for first and second grade reading camps – note that this is not about proficiency but reading comprehension below grade level as measured by formative and diagnostic assessments The second bullet is the statement of which first and second graders would qualify Just like 3rd grade camp, attendance is encouraged but not mandatory and parents make the final decisions

Accountability Number and percentage of first graders not demonstrating reading comprehension at grade level Number and percentage of second graders not demonstrating reading comprehension at grade level Report to State Board of Education and General Assembly With the new reading camps for younger children there is a requirement that districts report out number and percentage of first and second grade children that qualify for camps These reports go to the SBE and the General Assembly

Revised RtA Guidebook Changes PEP requirement and suggested forms removed RtI information replaced with MTSS information KEA information/dates updated These are the recently adopted changes to the RtA guidebook

Good Cause Exemptions LEP students Less than 2 school years of instruction in ESL July 1, 2014 This is the new date for the LEP Good Cause

Portfolios Hard copy passages have not been shipped from NCTOPS Waiting for close of General Assembly session Currently, the 2015-16 portfolio will be the same as last year Instructional passages – the same Assessment passages are 2014-15 selections plus 5 per standard from reading camp Cannot use assessment passages for instruction Portfolio hard copies will be sent out when the General Assembly closes session Accountability wants to make sure that there are no changes (don’t anticipate any) before they print the guides. The 15-16 portfolio will consist of the same instructional passages as last year. Assessment passages will be the ones from last year plus the 5 per standard that were released for reading camp. Assessment passages cannot be used as an instructional passage EVEN IF YOUR DISTRICT IS NOT USING THE PORTFOLIO SYSTEM. This has been the practice from the beginning. It would give an unfair advantage to children who may move from district to district if they have been taught the portfolio passage in another district. It would not give a true indication of the child’s understanding of the standard.

Written Response to Texts New written response to text prompts for books in TRC All teachers MUST review a video before assessing children in TRC at BOY New rubric and exemplars developed as a guide Completely aligned to standards You all can do this one in your sleep.

ELL Support Team Prefer to go live to site but slides in place as back up

ELL Support Team Per [Sec. 3115 (c)(2)] of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001,training provided through the ELL Support Team must be part of a larger PD Plan which will be documented via an ELL Implementation Plan that is submitted to the state for approval. The NCDPI ELL Support Team is a cadre of teachers, administrators and retirees with a strong understanding of theory-based concepts for best-practices in ELL student education offering training and coaching opportunities across the state. The team can provide academic language development, second language acquisition, literacy, authentic formative and summative assessments, technology integration, data-driven decision making, North Carolina academic standards, working with newcomers, ESL program models, co-teaching, and effective coaching. embedded within the current state-led initiatives: Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP), Expediting Comprehension for English Language Learners (ExC-ELL), World-class Instructional Design and Assessment (WIDA), and LinguaFolio.

ELL Support Team: Funding Option 1: LEA/Charter Request:  When an LEA/Charter requests ELL Support Services for themselves, DPI provides the presenter hours at no cost. The LEA/Charter is responsible for funding the training location, snacks, training materials/texts and presenter travel costs. Max. 5 days of service per school year. Option 2: LEA/Charter Host: When an LEA/Charter hosts a training including at least one other Charter/LEA, NCDPI provides the presenter hours, training materials/texts, and presenter travel at no cost. The LEA/Charter is responsible for providing the training location and will be reimbursed for snacks at state rate. Option 3: RESA Host: When a Regional Education Service Alliance (RESA) hosts an ELL Support Team training, NCDPI provides the presenter hours, training materials/texts, and presenter travel at no cost. The RESA is responsible for providing the training location and will be reimbursed for snacks at state rate.

ELL Support Team: Details Training Details to Consider: Requests should be submitted at least 2 months prior to the requested training start date. For record keeping purposes, requests for multiple services should be submitted on separate pages of the survey. For example, a request for SIOP training followed by SIOP Coaching would require completion of 2 pages of the survey. Service Request "1 of 2" would be completed for the raining days and the Service Request "2 of 2" would be completed for the coaching. Due to the nature of the SIOP Model and ExC-ELL a full 3-day institute is highly recommended for initial training. The full 3-day institute training dates may or may not be consecutive. Best options for the target audience can be explored. http://eldnces.ncdpi.wikispaces.net/ELL+Support+Team

ELL Support Team: Details Training Details to Consider: (cont.) Training capacity is typically a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 40 per 1 presenter. The ELL Support Team can offer services to an LEA/Charter for up to 5 days per school year. FREE Online Training Modules are available for both LinguaFolio and WIDA. It is recommend that the appropriate modules be completed before requesting ELL Support Services for these topics. Trainers are matched with LEAs/Charters based on a number of factors including: expertise, availability, geographic proximity, etc. WIDA Modules: http://eldnces.ncdpi.wikispaces.net/NC+WIDA+Modules LinguaFolio: http://www.learnnc.org/lp/editions/linguafolio/ http://eldnces.ncdpi.wikispaces.net/ELL+Support+Team
