Next Steps

Considerations for Next Steps

23

Current Work Common Core – Sharing major shifts in new standards

Tiered Service Model – Prioritize ELL services in 64 schools, Tier 1, 2 and 3

Roles and Responsibilities – SPS/SEA collaboration to identify roles and responsibilities for IA’s, ELL and regular education teachers, ELL coaches and principals

Communication Tools via Electronic Binder – shared with all ELL staff and school administrators

Assessment and Data Reports – MAP, ESIS, WELPA and MSP

ELL Retreat – 2 ELL teachers and 2 IA’s per region, coaches, 1 person per department. Goal is to create strategic initiatives that align with the district strategic plan

24

ELL Feedback/Survey Based on the student data and information shared

What do you recommend we modify or change to better serve our ELL students?

How can the ELL Department partner more effectively with the our community and parents in general?
