The MCSD CLD team has developed an English language formative assessment system. We use this districtwide system to inform ELD instruction, monitor progress from one proficiency level to the next, and provide performance feedback to learners, parents, and teachers.

All NEP and Low LEP English learners will be progress monitored at least once per quarter.
High LEP and FEP will be monitored when they are not making adequate progress.
ELD Specialists use the MCSD ELD Formative Assessment Proficiency Level Calculator/Rubric to determine current proficiency level.
ELD Specialists use ongoing formative assessment results to conference with NEP and Low LEP learners and set learning goals.
At the end of each quarter, formative assessment proficiency levels are entered into Infinite Campus by ELD Specialist.
