ELL Support Team Per [Sec (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.

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: – LinguaFolio:
