Minimum Expectations for RECOMMENDATION of re-designation to FEP for Pathway 1b:​

A. Must demonstrate proficiency of 4.0 in either Literacy or Overall or P1 on the ALT.​

B. There can only be 1 domain score lower than a 4.0 (and it must be at least 3.5) in either Reading, Writing, or Listening in order to consider re-designation.​

C: Possible exceptions:​

• Speaking plus one other domain may be considered (speaking may have a score lower than 3.5)​

• Special Services students may have one or two domains that are lower than 4.0, as a result of their disability, but no less than 3.2​

• A student who is very close in multiple domains (such as a 3.9 and a 3.8) may be considered for re-designation.​

DATA for Body of Evidence:​

Your additional evidence/ data suggesting re-designation must be compelling and concrete to include a triangulation of multiple data to assure we won’t have to re-enter a student on down the line including​

• A piece of convincing data for both reading and writing regardless of the overall literacy score​

• Additional data for all domains below 4.0.  For example, ​

  • if reading is low you’ll need to provide a minimum of 2 pieces of data that suggest the student is competent for reading and one piece of data for writing​

  • if speaking is low you will need the above reading and writing convincing data and evidence of proficiency in speaking​

Deadline for recommendations: September 18. ​

Re-designations will appear in IC after October 1.​

• See p. 7  of the Redesignation guidance PDF from the CDE.
