3 Cesar Chavez Academy District has prepared this handbook of programs policies and procedures to ensure that our ESL program meets the language needs of our English Language Learners. César Chávez Academy District recognized the needs and challenges of English Language Learners (ELL) and established a sheltered instruction program in In addition, we also provide our ELL students with small group interventions to ensure that these students achieve academic success on state standards and benchmarks in all content areas and at the same time acquire English language proficiency. II. Definition of English Language Learner (ELL) Limited English Proficient (LEP) is the term applied by the federal government in the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation and by the State of Michigan to classify a student as an English language learner (ELL). The federal government definitions are as follows: An ELL is a student is of ages 3-21, who is enrolled (or about to enroll) in a United States elementary or secondary school and meets the following requirements: An individual who was not born in the United States or whose native language is a language other than English. An individual who comes from an environment where a language other than English is dominant. An individual who is Native American, Alaska Native, or native resident of outlying areas and comes from an environment where a language other than English has had a significant impact in the individual s level of English language proficiency. An individual who is migratory, speaks a native language other than English, and comes from an environment where a language other than English is dominant. An individual who may be unable, because of difficulties in speaking, reading, writing, or understanding the English language to: score at the proficiency level on state assessments of academic achievement, learn successfully in classrooms where the language of instruction is English, and/or participate fully in society. III. Definitions and Acronyms used to describe English Language Learners Classes and Programs 3 Page
4 Limited English Proficient (LEP): a student whose primary language is not English; therefore he/she experiences difficulties with the mastery of English language skills. Formerly Limited English Proficient (FLEP): a student who has been exited from Title III/ESL program because the student has scored proficient or advanced proficient on the ELPA and is performing at grade level on state assessments and other local district assessments. English as a second language (ESL): a student receives ESL instruction during the regular class period, often grouped by English language proficiency levels. Sheltered Instruction: an instructional approach that engages ELLs above the beginner level in developing grade-level content-area knowledge, academic skills, and increased English proficiency. Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP): provides teachers with a model of sheltered instruction designed to enhance teachers practice. English Language Proficiency Assessment Initial Screener (ELPA Initial Screener): minimal version of the ELPA Assessment used to measure English language proficiency in listening, speaking, reading and writing for ELL students in Michigan for new students in a school district. English Language Proficiency Assessment (ELPA) : the annual assessment that measures English language proficiency in listening, speaking, reading and writing for ELL in the State of Michigan. This assessment is administered in the spring. Bilingual Teacher: a Bilingual teacher is required to be certified in the area of instruction and in addition have a bilingual endorsement. This teacher may provide bilingual ESL instruction or support services to the ELLs. Bilingual Paraprofessional: A Bilingual paraprofessional provides support services to the LEP student. Language proficiency must be demonstrated in listening, speaking, reading and writing in both the English language and the native language for which they provide services. Inclusion: an ELL student is placed in a general education setting and may receive tutorial support or receive service through a team approach. Co-Teaching: ESL/Bilingual teacher assists in content-area instruction, whenever there is a significant population of ELLs in the building. IV. Legal Responsibilities English Language Learners provisions are included under Title I and Title III of NCLB. 4 Page
5 Title I Outlines the state standards, assessments, annual yearly programs and other accountability requirements for ELL students. Title III Title III funds are used to provide language instruction educational programs-defined as courses in which ELL students are placed for the purpose of attaining English proficiency, while meeting challenging State academic content and student academic achievement standards. These programs may make use of both English and the child s native language to enable the child to develop and attain English proficiency, but school districts are required to use approaches and methodologies based on scientificallybased research. Each school or district using Title III funds must implement an effective means of outreach to parents of ELL children. They must inform parents about how they can be active participants in assisting their children to learn English, achieve at high levels in core academic subjects and meet State standards. Title III schools and school districts must: Describe in their Title III application to the state how the district has consulted with teachers, researchers, administrators and parents and others in developing their Title III plan. Inform parents of a child identified for participation in a Title III program within 30 days after the beginning of the school year. For a child who enters school after the beginning of the school year, the school must inform parents within two weeks of the child s placement in such a program. Communicate with parents in an understandable and uniform format, which means communicating the same information to all parents in an effective method. Title III Funds may be used for the following school district/and or school activities: English instruction beyond the school day Staff training and professional development Curriculum development Remedial tutoring, tutorials, and/or youth counseling Technology acquisition Parental engagement Summer programs Federal Law There exists a substantial body of federal law which establishes the rights of the LEP Students and which define the legal responsibilities of school districts serving these students. Administrators and school boards who are responsible for local policies and programs can turn for guidance and direction to this body of law. It includes the following: 1968 Constitution of the United States, Fourteenth Amendment 5 Page
6 ...No State shall...deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 No person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. Two U.S. Supreme Court rulings, one interpreting the Fourteenth Amendment and one interpreting the Civil Rights Act of 1964, have exercised considerable influence over the Educational rights of language-minority students. These cases may be summarized as follows: 1974 Lau v. Nichols The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a school district s failure to provide English language instruction to LEP students denied them meaningful opportunity to participate in the district s educational program in violation of Title VI of the Civil rights Act of 1964; the court further noted that equality of opportunity is not provided by giving the LEP student the same facilities, textbooks, teachers, and curriculum which non-lep students receive Plyler v. Doe The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits states from denying a free public education to undocumented immigrant children regardless of their immigrant status. The Court emphatically declared that school systems are not agents for enforcing immigration law and determined that the burden undocumented aliens may place on an educational system is not an accepted argument for excluding or denying educational service to any student. V. Procedure for Identification of LEP Students The following procedures are established for Cesar Chavez Academy District to meet the requirements of Title III funds. A. Registration/Identification Using Home Language Survey Each student is given a home language survey immediately upon entering the district, as part of the registration packet. 6 Page
7 Office personnel (office manager, office manager assistant) will ensure the Home Language Survey is completed. The completed Home Language Survey will be placed in the student s permanent (CA-60) and this information will be entered into our computer system under student records. If it is indicated on the home language survey, as having a native language or that another language other than English is spoken at home, ESL/bilingual staff will be notified to arrange proper assessments to determine eligibility for ESL/bilingual services. B. Initial Assessment for ESL Eligibility The ELPA Initial Screener will be administered within the first ten days of the student entering our district depending on the outcomes of the home language survey. ESL/bilingual staff will call previous schools for most recent ELPA assessment results. If the previous scores are available, ESL/bilingual placement will be determined by Spring ELPA scores. If these scores are not available, the ELPA Initial Screener will be used to determine the eligibility of the student for additional ESL/bilingual support. Teacher and other professional recommendations may also be utilized. A student s language skills in all four areas (listening, reading, writing, speaking) and comprehension of the English language are assessed, using the Michigan English Language Proficiency Assessment (ELPA) or the English Language Proficiency Assessment (ELPA Initial Screener) during the required testing windows. C. Procedure for Proper Identification of LEP Students into MSDS Current students ELPA scores will be analyzed by ELL Coach and these scores will be transferred into CCA student information system (PowerSchool). District office manager will confirm and upload information into Michigan Student Data System (MSDS). District ELL Coach and School Leaders will review report from MSDS to ensure accuracy and will support district office manager in making corrections. D. Eligibility for ESL/Bilingual Program Services If a student scores basic on the ELPA Initial Screener and/or spring ELPA Assessment, he or she is identified as an ELL/LEP and will be offered additional support with language acquisition. This student will be required to take the spring ELPA Assessment. 7 Page
8 If a student scores intermediate on the ELPA Initial Screener and/or spring ELPA Assessment, he or she is identified as an ELL/LEP and will be offered additional support with language acquisition. This student will be required to take the spring ELPA Assessment. If the student scores proficient on the ELPA Initial Screener and/or Spring ELPA Assessment, they have demonstrated mastery of the English language and may receive additional support in the language skill of need (Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking) including comprehension of the English language. If a student scores advanced proficient on the ELPA Initial Screener and/or Spring ELPA Assessment, they have demonstrated mastery of the English language will receive additional support ESL support services as needed ESL and be monitored on their progress of language acquisition. E. English Language Proficiency Assessment (ELPA) and Levels of Proficiency The following chart shows ELPA Spring Assessment and ELPA Initial Screener level of proficiency correlated to the Michigan English Language Proficiency Standards Levels 1-5. The chart below should assist in determining the level of the student s proficiency and the student s placement. Basic- This student s performance indicates minimal or no English language acquisition in the areas of listening, reading, writing, speaking and comprehension. Low Intermediate- This student s performance indicates partial or developing English language acquisition in the areas of listening, reading, writing, speaking and comprehension. High Intermediate- This student s performance indicates near-sufficient or mostly developed English language acquisition in the areas of listening, reading, writing, speaking and comprehension. Proficient- This student s performance indicates sufficient or well-developed English language acquisition in the areas of listening, reading, writing, speaking and comprehension. Advanced Proficient- This student s performance indicates substantial understanding and application of complex English language skills in the areas of listening, reading, writing, speaking and comprehension.

Parent Notification of ESL Services Cesar Chavez Academy District will inform parents of English Language Learners (ELLs) identified for placement in the district s ESL/Bilingual available programs. Parents will be notified about ESL programs placement no later than 30 days after the beginning of the school year for those students who started at a CCA school at the beginning of school year and within 15 school days of attendance for students who have not been previously identified. Notification Letter includes the following: 1). Reasons for identifying their child as being LEP 2). The placement for their child in an accelerated English language program 3). The child s current level of proficiency from Spring ELPA 4). The method of instruction of ELL/bilingual services 5). The program exit requirements 6). The parents rights to refuse these services. G. Spectrum of Support for ELL Students The ELPA Assessment is administered in the spring to all ELL/LEP students; outcomes are used to determine students continued participation in the ELL program. Once a student is identified as ELL they will receive services to help him/her be successful through increased proficiency in the English Language and academic content. There is a range of services the student can receive. They include, but are not limited to the following: CCA (K-12) inclusive services, performed through direct instruction by the core classroom teacher(s) through the use of the SIOP Model in the general education classroom. Assistance of ESL supported by ESL certified teacher and ELL support staff. 9 Page

Parent Refusal of ESL Services 15 P a g e
16 When a parent refuses ESL services for their child, services will be immediately discontinued; however these students will be required to continue taking the spring ELPA until scoring a passing level of proficient or advanced proficient. This student will also be exited from the ESL program in PowerSchool. Refusal of services will need to be completed every year. Procedure for Refusal of ESL Services If when a parent does not agree with the ELL services offered to the student the following steps will be taken to resolve the parent disagreement 1. The complaint will be taken to the building school leader by the classroom teacher, the ELL teacher or the parent issuing the complaint. 2. The school leader will contact ESL Coordinator regarding the complaint. 3. The ESL coordinator will explain the eligibility process, ELL services provided or ELL program and Title III and NCLB to the parent and building school leader. 4. The appropriate documentation will be on file as having been completed by the parent issuing the complaint (eligibility letter, and parent consent letter). 5. The appropriate completed documentation will be returned to school leader with copy sent to ESL coordinator and a copy placed in student file, along with copy of the formal complaint issued by the parent. J. Exiting from ESL Program Students will be exited from ESL program and become FLEP once they score in the Proficient or Advanced Proficient range on the spring ELPA, as well as other standardized tests. A student who meets district area criteria will be exited from the ESL Program. This students status will also be adjusted in PowerSchool and be considered FLEP. K. Monitoring of Formerly Limited English Proficient (FLEP) Students Identified students at the elementary level will be monitored in Reading and Math at the end of three benchmarks to ensure that adequate progress is being achieved. Note: Students in grades Kindergarten, first and second grade will not be exited from LEP status. At secondary level, ESL staff will monitor grades at each semester. If during this monitoring process, it appears that the student is not succeeding in the general education classes, general education teachers will meet with ESL staff to determine if the student will be re-entered into the ESL program or if other services are appropriate. 16 P a g e
17 Records of progress monitoring form, as well as any placement changes resulting from monitoring process will be placed in the student s CA-60 file. L. English Language Learners with Disabilities Some English Language Learners also have difficulties which impact the acquisition of a second language. ESL services for students with disabilities shall be based upon a plan developed by the ESL Lead teacher and the student s Special Education Teacher. The service plan will address the student s ESL needs. Student is identified as at risk in an academic area Students status and performance is reviewed based on GLCES, HSCS, and Common Core Standards Students ELPA scores and previous records will be reviewed by General Education Teacher and Special Education Team Student is then referred to RTI services and/or increase ESL services, if student is still not responding to these support services the student is referred to Special Education Team (SEE APPENDIX for English Language Learners Flowchart) VI. Parental Communication A. Parental Communication and Interpreter Services Communication is vital to the effective operation of our school. It is the belief and expectation of Cesar Chavez Academy that communication with parents will occur on a regular basis, and whenever is a necessary need to communicate with parents. Communication with parents of Limited English Proficient (LEP) students occurs in the following manner: Parents receive notices (monthly newsletters, bulletins, and flyers) of school programs and activities impacting their child s education. All School- to- home communication is also translated into Spanish in order to ensure that students and parents are informed in their first language. The Student Code of Conduct Handbook is translated into Spanish and it is distributed to students at the beginning of school year and it is also posted on the CCA website. Parent ESL classes are offered to encourage adult language so that parents will be able to better promote language skills with their children, at home. Spanish translators are available for parent-teacher conferences, IEP meetings and any school events. 17 P a g e
18 Cesar Chavez Academy District will conduct at least three ELL Parent Meetings throughout the school year. These meetings will be conducted to inform parents of the following: 1. Provisions of ELL Handbook and Student Code 2. Our school s eligibility for Title III program, what the program entails, and how it will be conducted 3. The curriculum that is offered at Cesar Chavez Academy, and what components of the curriculum that are supported by Title III 4. Assessment of student progress 5. Additional services for ELL parents on topics they are interested on such as (immigration, strategies to help at home, after-school tutoring, extended day etc.) B. Parent Involvement Policy Evaluation The Parent Involvement Policy for Cesar Chavez Academy is evaluated yearly at the end of the school year, to determine the effectiveness of programs offered to improve the overall academic quality of our school. Recommendations from parents will be reviewed by ELL team to make adjustments for the subsequent school year. VII. Professional Development The goal of professional development is to provide staff with best practice opportunities to meet the needs of ELL students. VIII. SIOP trainings and teacher support Differentiated Instruction Other professional development opportunities designed for teaching ELL students, Michigan Association of Bilingual Eduction ( MABE), Michigan Reading Association ( MRA), and Special Population Conference Staff is provided with professional mentoring/coaching to support the ELL plan in classrooms Walkthroughs performed by ELL coach and Instructional coaches to help monitor performance of the SIOP model Program Evaluation (Procedures to Determine the Effectiveness of Programs) 18 P a g e
19 Cesar Chavez Academy District will have a Title III Monitoring Team that will consist of the following members: Superintendent District Curriculum Director School Leaders Instructional Coaches ESL Coach ESL Lead Teacher This team will assess student progress using standardized scores and building assessments. The team will also assess the program s effectiveness, resources and ESL staff needs. Results will be presented to Board Members. The following are the program academic performance indicators to assist with the evaluation of programs: Pre/post assessments on ELL standards and Common Core State Standards Benchmark testing 3 times a year at elementary level Benchmark Testing every semester at secondary level Progress Monitoring Bi-Weekly in Math and Reading Implementation of strategies based on walk-through tool/ rubric Programs will be modified based on the collection and analysis of students data results to modify ELL program. Goals of the Program To move 10% of the students annually to Formerly Limited English Proficient (FLEP). To educate Limited English Proficient students with the same rigorous standards as all students in the school district. To teach the English language domains of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. To provide students with an opportunity to progress academically within their peer group by using tutoring assistance in their first language. To foster positive attitudes toward school and positive self-concepts. To promote pride in the students' cultural and linguistic backgrounds. To involve families and community leaders in the educational process in order to make education a cooperative effort between home and school. 19 P a g e
20 VIII. Annual Evaluation of Title III Program: Cesar Chavez Academy District Title III Monitoring Team will meet annually to review academic and programmatic indicators of the success of Title III program, including progress of English Language Learners and FLEP students in achieving state content standards and attaining English language proficiency. The team will create a narrative description of their findings that will be publicized and disseminated to all stakeholders. The complete report will be found on the district website. IX. ESL Parent Complaint It is the policy of the Board of Directors that all students be provided a meaningful education and access to the programs provided by the school. Limited proficiency in the English language should not be a barrier to equal participation in the instructional or extra-curricular programs of the school. It is, therefore, the policy of the academy that those students identified as having limited English proficiency will be provided additional support and instruction to assist them in gaining English proficiency and in assessing the educational and extra- curricular programs offered by the school Further, the school will endeavor to assist the student and his/her parents in their access to School programs by sending notices to the parents in a language or format that they are likely to understand.
