English Learner TOSAs (3), Language Assessors (2), and Instructional Aides (8) will provide specialized academic support to English learners. This incudes EL students as well as Long Term English Learners (LTEL). TOSAs will also provide coaching and support to teachers to enhance ELD instruction. Enhancing the English Language Learner instructional support program by refining targeted interventions tailored to address specific student needs identified through ongoing assessment and data analysis from the EL TOSAs. This will involve allocating additional resources to provide differentiated instruction, small group interventions for LTELs, and language development activities to support EL students in their journey towards English proficiency.
The effectiveness of this action will be monitored through ELPI rates (Metric 2.7) and reclassification rates (Metric 2.8). ELPI rates will provide insight into the progress of English learners in language proficiency development, with a focus on the percentage of students making significant gains in English language skills over time. Additionally, reclassification rates will measure the success of the support services in facilitating the transition of English learners to fluent English proficiency status. By tracking these metrics, we can assess the impact of specialized academic support on English learners' language development and academic progress, ensuring that they are adequately supported in achieving language proficiency and academic success. These metrics will inform ongoing efforts to address the needs of English learners and foster their overall growth within our district.
