Fremont Unified School District 2016-17 Reclassification & New Assessment for English Learners Distrito Escolar Unificado de Fremont 2016-17 Reclasificación & Nuevas Evaluaciones para los Estudiantes de Inglés

Datos De Los Estudiantes de Inglés English Learner Data Datos De Los Estudiantes de Inglés Current English learners is the number of students that tested as ELs on the California English Language Development Test (CELDT). Students are tested because the parents indicated on the Home Language Survey when they registered with the district that they speak a language other than English. Initials are students who are new to the country or Transitional Kindergarten (TK) or Kindergarten students starting school. Annual EL students take the test each year until they are reclassified. That means that they scored as English Proficient on the CELDT test. Initially Fluent students mean that they scored as English Proficient when they took the initial CELDT test. Students are recommended for reclassification when they meet the criteria. See the next slide. All reclassified EL students are monitored for two years to make sure that they continue to make progress.

It’s called the English Language Proficiency Assessment of California (ELPAC). This spring the state is conducting Pilot (practice) assessments at two of our school sites for a small group of students. These tests will not be scored, but will give the state data about the test. Beginning in the 2017-18 school year, we will continue to administer the CELDT initial test for the last time. In the spring we will be testing all EL students with the ELPAC test. We will give you more information at the DELAC meetings and on our website. In 2018-19 we will test our initial students with the ELPAC in the beginning of the year (window is July 1- October 31). In the spring we will test annuals (all ELs). This later window will give students more instructional time in English. 2016-2017 2017-2018 2018-2019 PILOTO ELPAC SUMATIVA (Primavera del 2017) CELDT INICIAL SOLAMENTE ELPAC Inicial (Julio del 2018) SUMATIVA (Anual) SUMATIVA (ANUAL) (Primavera del 2018)
