M. Educational Services - Bilingual and ESL Curriculum Revisions, (C&I Agenda - October, 2017) Strategic Plan Link: Goal 1: Learning Outcomes: To improve the learning and academic performance of all students in PPS The Acting Superintendent of Schools recommends, and I so move adoption of the following:

RESOLUTION

The Plainfield Board of Education is committed to ensuring that all students succeed academically and reach their full potential. In doing so, it is also committed to providing opportunities for and ensuring that all students meet the New Jersey Student Learning Standards and achieve academic, and life-long success. In order to plan instruction inclusive of all students in the English Language Arts classroom, a comprehensive curriculum has been developed. The standards covered during each instructional unit of the Language Arts curriculum are reflective of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards outlined in the New Jersey Curriculum Framework. Each standard in reading and writing has been unpacked to illustrate the critical knowledge and skills students need in order to master the standard. Essential questions and sample activities are included to utilize when teaching such standard. This ESL framework was designed to be used by bilingual, dual language, ESL and general education teachers. Bilingual and dual language programs use the home language and a second language for instruction. ESL teachers and general education or bilingual teachers may use this document to collaborate on unit and lesson planning to decide who will address certain components of the New Jersey Student Learning Standard (NJSLS) and language objective. ESL teachers may use the appropriate leveled language objective to build lessons for ELLs which reflects what is covered in the general education program. In this way, whether it is a pull-out or push-in model, all teachers are working on the same Student Learning Standard. The design of language objectives are based on the alignment of the World-Class Instructional Design Assessment (WIDA) Consortium’s English Language Development (ELD) standards with the New Jersey Student Learning Standards. RESOLVED, that the Plainfield Board of Education approves the following Bilingual and ESL staff to be compensated for curriculum revisions, not to exceed $1120.00 per participant.

Bilingual and ESL Curriculum Revisions 2017 (Bilingual / ESL/ WL) Strategic Plan Link Goal 1: Learning Outcomes: To improve the learning and academic performance of all students in all PPS The Acting Superintendent of Schools recommends and I so move, adoption of the following:

RESOLUTION

The Plainfield Board of Education is committed to ensuring all students succeed academically and reach their full potential. In doing so, it is also committed to providing opportunities for and ensuring all students meet the New Jersey Student Learning Standards, achieve academic and life-long success. In order to plan instruction inclusive of all students in the English Language Arts classroom, a comprehensive curriculum has been developed. The standards covered during each instructional unit of the Language Arts curriculum are reflective of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards (NJSLS) outlined in the New Jersey Curriculum Framework. Each standard in reading and writing has been unpacked to illustrate the critical knowledge and skills students need in order to master the standard. Essential questions and sample activities are included to utilize when teaching such standard. This ESL framework was designed for use by bilingual, dual language, ESL and general education teachers. Bilingual and dual language programs use the home language and a second language for instruction. ESL teachers and general education or bilingual teachers may use this document to collaborate on unit and lesson planning to decide who will address certain components of the NJSLS and language objective. ESL teachers may use the appropriate leveled language objective to build lessons for ELLs, which reflects what is covered in the general education program. In this way, whether it is a pull-out or push-in model, all teachers are working on the same Student Learning Standard. The design of language objectives are based on the alignment of the World-Class Instructional Design Assessment (WIDA) Consortium’s English Language Development (ELD) standards with the New Jersey Student Learning Standards. RESOLVED, that the Plainfield Board of Education approves the following Bilingual and ESL curricula revisions to reflect increased rigor and to align more closely with current state or provincial standards, or to the new standards.
