1. DELAC Update Spring 2014

2. Agenda  Reclassification process  EL Plan Review  Ellevation Renewal and Goals  New ELD Standards and Training Plan  LCAP Review

3. Reclassification Process  – Local reclassification policy must address the four criteria in state law: 1. Assessment of language proficiency 2. Teacher evaluation 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  – Local reclassification policy may include additional criteria consistent with state and federal laws  – District advisory committee for EL programs and services must review and comment on the policy

4. State Update “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."  What does this criteria mean?  CDE is going to gather information as to what districts are doing for reclassification, and compile a list.  So far, districts are looking at multiple measures such as fluency, writing and benchmarks. Suggestions/considerations:  Where are English proficient students scoring on the test?  Where are the reclassified students scoring?  What is equivalent of mid base?  Look @ reclassification rate over the past few years to ensure they are similar once you apply your new criteria.
