English Learner Reclassification Data Trend # of RFEPs Percentage 17%13.6%18.5%14.6%10.7%17.4%4% For the 2015–16 school year, the reclassification criteria, pursuant to California Education Code Section 313, remain unchanged: 1.Assessment of English language proficiency, using an objective assessment instrument, including, but not limited to, the state test of English language development 2. Teacher evaluation, including, but not limited to, a review of the student's curriculum mastery 3. Parent opinion and consultation 4. Comparison of student performance in basic skills against an empirically established range of performance in basic skills based on the performance of English proficient students of the same age. LEAs are to use these four criteria to establish local reclassification policies.
What is Title III Accountability? Federal grant under Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) that provides supplemental funds to ensure that English learners and immigrant youths attain English proficiency and meet the same challenging academic content and achievement standards that other students are expected to meet.
Title III State Requirements Establish English language proficiency standards Conduct an annual assessment (AA) of English language proficiency Define two AMAOs for increasing the percentage of EL students’ developing and attaining English proficiency Include a third AMAO relating to meeting AYP for the EL student group at the LEA or consortium level Hold LEAs and consortia accountable for meeting the three AMAOs
Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives An AMAO is a performance objective, or target, that Title III subgrantees must meet each year for their EL populations Annual Measurable Achievement ObjectivesAssessment AMAO 1: Percentage of ELs Making Annual Progress in Learning English CELDT AMAO 2: Percentage of ELs Attaining the English Proficient Level on the CELDT CELDT AMAO 3: AYP Requirements for EL Student Group at the LEA or Consortium Level CAASPP
California English Language Development Test (CELDT) Purpose: Identify students with limited English proficiency. Determine the level of English language proficiency of those students. Assess the progress of limited English-proficient students in acquiring the skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English. Level 1 Beginning Level 2 Early Intermediate Level 3 Intermediate Level 4 Early Advanced Level 5 Advanced
Comparison of CELDT and ELPAC CELDTELPAC Aligned with the 1999 CA ELD Standards (5 proficiency levels) Aligned with 2012 CA ELD Standards (3 proficiency levels) Emerging - Expanding – Bridging One test for two purposes (initial and annual)Two separate tests for two purposes: (1) initial identification and (2) annual summative assessment. The initial identification will be brief and locally scored Paper-pencil testsPaper-pencil tests with potential to transition to computer-based tests July 1 - October 31 Annual Assessment window Annual Summative Assessment window to be a four-month period after January 1 (proposed February 1 - May 31), allowing for more pre- test instructional time. Domains: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking

Achievement in Motion
AIM – Highlights How Did They Do It?. Academic Vocabulary Curriculum Alignment Technology Integration Ongoing Assessment “We start looking at pieces, current event pieces, and we can look at them in ELD 2, in ELD 3, in ELD 4. Not the same ones, but the same skills that we’re practicing and guide them at their levels.” — Lisa Etchepare, English and ELD 3 Teacher, JHS
AIM – Highlights How Did They Do It? Teachers began to spend time together, look at materials together, and attend conferences together, which helped them get more out of their professional development and build a rich professional learning community. Professional Development Opportunities & Collaboration
