11 Steps to Success!

ALL charter schools should:

1) designate a person to work with LEP data via the authoritative source even if there are currently no LEP students enrolled. PowerSchool will now serve as the authoritative source for LEP student data and therefore serves as the official system for verifying student LEP status.

• LEP functionality will be managed at the state level by the NCDPI English as a Second Language (ESL) program staff and locally by LEP coordinators and designees. Please refer to the NC SIS or LEP Coordinator page for the archived webinar and more information about how to access this functionality.

2) join the LEP coordinator listserv and provide contact information for the LEP Coordinator statewide list by completing the form on the bottom of the Home page of this WIKI http://eldnces.ncdpi.wikispaces.net

3) be aware of the NC process for identifying Limited English Proficient Students (LEPs) (LEP Identification )

4) be aware of the annual ACCESS test of English language proficiency in case students arrive during the year

5) complete the October 1 and February 1 headcounts (Webinars will be provided prior to each headcount)

6) be aware of LEP support documentation such as:

a. the WIDA web site (http://www.wida.us/)b. ESL website (http://eldnces.ncdpi.wikispaces.net/)c. ESL quick start guide (Quick Reference) d. LEP Coordinator LiveBinder (http://bit.ly/NCLEPHandbook)

Charter schools with LEPs should:

7) utilize the NC ELD Essential Standards (WIDA Standards) to guide instruction (http://www.wida.us/standards/eld.aspx - Download 2007 and 2012)

8) complete an LIEP service chart and submit to ESL at NCDPI (Due date November 30, 2015. Send to ivanna.anderson@dpi.nc.gov)(Documents have not been updated for the 15-16 school year. You may refer to these documents for information but wait for the updated forms before completing and submitting)
