ELD Addendum

Purpose of ELD Addendum With parents…  Share student’s current level of language proficiency and progress in acquiring English  Provide longitudinal data on student’s growth in language acquisition from entry until current grade  Clarify expectations for rate of proficiency growth

Challenges with Previous Addendum  Not standards-based  Listening and Speaking only  Measured a student’s growth on selected language functions and on specific aspects of grammar only  Format of the addendum inadvertently limited the teacher’s use of data to that which came out of the ELD trimester assessments  Complicated longitudinal growth and expectations chart
