8. Updates to North Carolina Read to Achieve September 27, 2015

9. 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

10. 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

11. 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

12. 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

13. 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

14. Portfolios Hard copy passages have not been shipped from NCTOPS
Waiting for close of General Assembly session
Currently, the portfolio will be the same as last year
Instructional passages – the same
Assessment passages are 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 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.

15. 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.

68. 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.

69. 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.

70. 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.

71. 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.
