ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY
Each student deserves access to a rigorous and challenging education that develops his/her talents to the fullest. English Language Development (ELD) should foster the acquisition of the English language and develop concept understanding in English. All students should be encouraged to explore the wealth of ideas, insights, and powerful ways of knowing the world embodied in our core curriculum. It is essential that learning occur in a non-threatening environment that promotes self-esteem and fosters mutual respect and tolerance toward people of diverse cultures.

INITIAL IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of initial identification is to ensure that pupils eligible for supplemental educational assistance based on English language proficiency are correctly identified. The process consists of the administration of the Home Language Survey (HLS) to determine which pupils have a primary language other than English. Such pupils are then assessed to determine their proficiency in the English language and are classified as either English learner (EL) or Initially-fluent-English proficient (I-FEP) based on the results of that assessment.

Parent/Guardian Completes the form. school site. Bilingual Aide II Assists parent with translation,
if needed; receives copies of HLS indicating languages other than English.
All public schools (except preschools, children's centers, adult classes, juvenile halls, and regional occupation centers) must determine the primary language of all pupils as they enroll, using the Home Language Survey. A Home Language Survey is completed by the parent or guardian upon enrollment of the student. (This document is placed in the student's cum file). There must be a Home Language Survey on file for each student in the District, including migrant, special education, and continuation school enrollees. Pupils for whom there is at least one response other than English on the Home Language Survey are designated as having a primary language other than English. Pupils for whom there is at least one response other than English to any of the first three questions on the Home Language Survey must be assessed for English language proficiency.
II-2
Pupils for whom the response to each of the first three questions is English, but for whom a language other than English is indicated in response to question number four, need not be assessed for English language proficiency unless the District feels there is reasonable doubt as to the student's English proficiency.
All migrant and special education pupils must be included in the identification process.
The Home Language Survey needs be completed only once.
See Home Language Survey masters in the Forms section of this document for specific languages.
(Legal References: EC 62002, former EC 52164(a); 5 CCR 4304, II-EL 4)
Diagnostic Assessment
The purpose of diagnostic assessment is to provide necessary information to be used in planning the instructional program for English learners. The results of assessments conducted in both English and the primary language are to be used for making decisions on the extent and sequence of the use of English and the possible use of primary support in instruction. Periodic updates of these assessments are to be used for appropriate program modifications. The instrument used to determine English proficiency is the English Language Proficiency Assessment for Calironia, Initial Identification.

Within 30 calendar days of initial enrollment, each student with a language other than English on the HLS will be assessed in English in the areas of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The summative ELPAC will be given to all students previously identified as English learners.
The only exception is the pupil who took the ELPAC for initial or summative assessment at his/her previous school. The pupil does not have to be retested if the ELPAC was administered within the current annual assessment test window or for initial identification within the past six months, and the test scores can be obtained.

Assessment Data Assessment data is recorded on the English Learner Assessment Profile (Form D) and placed in the pupil’s cum file. If the pupil is identified as an English Learner, an EL folder is created and the classroom teacher receives notification. The notification includes: 1) the pupil’s overall designation according to ELPAC; 2) the pupil’s designation within each skill area according to ELPAC; and 3) proficiency level descriptors. (See Overall Proficiency Descriptions on pages II-4 through II-6.)
II-7
ENGLISH ASSESSMENT DATA
Every student has a Home Language Survey. If there is another language listed on any of the first three lines, the student is tested. TESTING Initial ELPAC assessments will be administered within 30 calendar days. All summative ELPAC assessments will be administered during the annual testing window. Because every English learner in California must be tested once each year, summative ELPAC exams can be administered outside of the testing window in certain circumstances. However, following testing guidelines, each exam is hand-scored, not submitted to the testing company, and the score is retained so that it can be entered on the following year’s test booklet. Grades K-12 Listening, Speaking Reading, and Writing English learners scoring at a proficiency level The comprehensive high schools offer English Language Development (ELD) classes for qualifying English learners.

The District has further assessed each English learner for primary language proficiency, including comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing within 90 calendar days of initial enrollment. Parallel forms of the tests to determine English-language proficiency are used if available. • The District documents contain criteria used to determine which English
learner would benefit from primary language assistance based on assessments in the primary language and in English.
• Each English learner has formal test results (using parallel forms of the tests
used to determine English proficiency, to the degree instruments are available or, at a minimum, informal diagnostic data) on file regarding the student's primary language proficiency. This data was collected within 90 calendar days of the student's enrollment.
• Each English learner has assessment information in English and the
primary language which resulted in a designation of the extent to which the student would benefit from primary language assistance.
Information from the assessment of language skills for each pupil whose primary language is other than English shall be retained by the school as long as the pupil is enrolled in the District. (Legal References: EC 62002, former EC 52161, 52164 (c); 5CCR 4305, II-EL 4

II-10
Conducting Primary Language Assessment in Spanish, as Well as Other Languages Even when instruments for formal assessment in the pupil's primary language are not available, the District is still required to conduct an informal assessment in the areas of comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing. This informal assessment should be conducted by a person who is bilingual in English and the primary language of the pupil and who can evaluate cultural and ethnic factors in assessment. The assessment procedures and scoring scales are as follows: 1. Speaking/Comprehension a) Procedures for a primary language other than Spanish The assessor shall conduct informal conversation with the pupil in his/her primary
language, using the SOLOM (Student Oral Language Observation Instrument) as the assessment instrument. The person doing the assessment needs to elicit enough responses from the pupil to be able to assess for (a) comprehension, (b) fluency, (c) vocabulary, (d) pronunciation, and (e) grammar. See Form C for SOLOM instrument.
b) Scoring Scale See SOLOM instrument for complete descriptions.
1 = No proficiency
2 = Limited proficiency
3 = Limited proficiency
4 = Proficient
5 = Proficient Note: The pupil must score at Level 4 or above in every category on the matrix in order to be assessed as orally proficient in the primary language. 2. Reading a) Procedures for a primary language other than Spanish The assessor or another qualified person shall select the passage that corresponds with
the grade level of the student and translate it into the primary language of the student. Then the student will be asked to read the material aloud to the assessor. To test for comprehension, the assessor will use the questions provided with the reading material. The student may answer these orally.
b) Scoring Scale 1 = No proficiency 2 = Limited proficiency. Student can read only a few individual words. 3 = Limited proficiency. Student can read many words but has only partial
understanding of the material.

4 = Proficient. Student can read nearly all the words and has good understanding of the material, as indicated by an ability to answer
two out of four (50%) questions correctly. 5 = Proficient. Student can read all of the words and has excellent
understanding of the material, as indicated by an ability to answer three or four out of four (75%-100%) questions correctly. Note: The pupil must score at Level 4 in order to be assessed as proficient in primary language reading. 3. Writing
Use same procedures that are outlined for the SWORF on page II-14 and Form B for primary language writing assessment.

II-12
How to Use the Student Writing and Reading Observation Form
to Test Languages Other than English
In the absence of a commercially available instrument of proven quality, the District has developed its own materials for assessing writing in grades 3-12 for languages other than English. Assessment results for writing in the primary language are to be recorded on the Student Writing and Reading Observation Form. (See Form B.) Procedures The purpose of this assessment is to test primarily for literacy in the written
language(s), NOT for mastery of composition skills. To facilitate this purpose, the assessor shall present the student with a picture that has appropriate content for the student's grade level and ask the student to write about the picture in the student's primary language - at least 50-75 words. In order to orient the student to the task, it is permissible for the assessor to discuss the picture with the student before and during the writing as long as the assessor does not provide any kind of assistance with the actual writing.

MANTECA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
Criteria for Primary Language Assistance in Spanish Basic Criteria For English learners whose primary language is Spanish, Manteca Unified conducts parallel diagnostic assessment in English and Spanish in oral language (comprehension, speaking, writing, and reading.) The basic criteria for an EL pupil with a primary language of Spanish to receive academic assistance in Spanish is that the parallel diagnostic assessment in English/Spanish shows that the pupil is more proficient overall in Spanish than in English and, at the same time, has a sufficient level of proficiency in Spanish indicating that the student would most likely benefit from academic assistance or support in Spanish. Attempts should be made to provide the best instructional program for each child by providing a teacher or Bilingual Aide II best qualified to provide that assistance and/or support. At each site in the District, the bilingual staff is responsible for maintaining an "English Learner Assessment Profile," which is a District-wide form for recording all assessment results for both languages. The basic criteria described above is then applied to the assessment results to determine which English learners would be candidates for academic assistance through primary language support.
II-16
HOW TO USE THE SOLOM FOR PRIMARY LANGUAGE
ASSESSMENT FOR LANGUAGES OTHER THAN SPANISH
Each English learner whose Home Language Survey indicates a language other than English as the primary language, must be further assessed for primary language proficiency including comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing within 90 calendar days.
For the English part of combinations other than English/Spanish, the same instruments and scoring criteria outlined in the English Language Assessment Procedures should be used. For the primary language part of the assessment, identified English learners need to be assessed in comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing to the "extent instruments are available."
Even when instruments for formal assessment in the pupil's primary language are not available, we are still required to conduct an informal assessment in the areas of comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing. This informal assessment should be conducted by a person who is bilingual in English and the primary language of the pupil and who can evaluate cultural and ethnic factors in assessment. The assessment procedures and scoring scales are as follows:
1. Speaking/Comprehension a) Procedures for a primary language other than Spanish The assessor shall conduct informal conversation with the pupil in his/her
primary language, using the SOLOM (Student Oral Language Observation Instrument) as the assessment instrument. The person doing the assessment needs to elicit enough responses from the pupil to be able to assess for (a) comprehension, (b) fluency, (c) vocabulary, (d) pronunciation, and (e) grammar. See Form C for SOLOM instrument.
b) Scoring Scale See SOLOM instrument for complete descriptions.
1 = No proficiency
2 = Limited proficiency
3 = Limited proficiency
4 = Proficient
5 = Proficient Note: The pupil must score at Level 4 or above in every category on the matrix in order to be assessed as orally proficient in the primary language.
II-17
2. Reading a) Procedures for a primary language other than Spanish The assessor or another qualified person shall select the passage that
corresponds with the grade level of the student and translate it into the primary language of the student. Then the student will be asked to read the material aloud to the assessor. To test for comprehension, the assessor will use the questions provided with the reading material. The student may answer these orally.
b) Scoring Scale 1 = No proficiency 2 = Limited proficiency. Student can read only a few individual
words. 3 = Limited proficiency. Student can read many words but has only

assessments are completed.
Director of Compensatory Education
Coordinates procedure at District level.
Students identified as English learners through District assessment procedures are given the opportunity to receive a specialized program that will include English Language Development and, in some cases, primary language support. Parents are notified that their child qualifies for English learner services and that these services are optional. In grades K-6, the student's classroom teacher and in grades 7-12, a team of the student's core teachers are responsible for developing an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) that specifies what type of program the student will receive. The plan will also indicate whether or not the teacher(s) or the Bilingual paraprofessional will provide any necessary primary language support. Guidelines for determining the type of program relate directly to the student's overall English proficiency level as determined by the ELPAC.
III-1
Elementary Schools
English Language Mainstream Program: All English learners are placed in a classroom taught by an appropriately-trained and credentialed instructor. The instructor would provide support for the English learner in the continued development of English language fluency, as well as a sheltered approach for instruction in the academic areas. Primary language support may be provided as needed and available, either through a teacher or Bilingual paraprofessional; however, the majority of instruction will be delivered in English. Structured English Immersion: A classroom setting for English learners in which nearly all classroom instruction is provided in English but with a curriculum and presentation designed for pupils at ELPAC levels 1 and 2 who are learning English. At minimum, English learners will be provided a program of Structured English Immersion. [EC sections 305(a)(2) and 306(c)(3)].
High Schools English Language Development and Classes: English learners will be assigned to an English Language Development classroom taught by an appropriately-trained and credentialed instructor. The instructors will provide an appropriate English Language Development program. Bilingual aides may be assigned to this classroom and/or provide support in other mainstream classrooms. The instructor will provide support for the English learner in the continued development of English language fluency. Primary language assistance may be provided as needed and as possible through a teacher or primary language support provided by a Bilingual paraprofessional.
III-2
Elementary Schools and High Schools Primary Language Instruction - Waiver Only Primary language instruction must be provided by an appropriately-trained and credentialed teacher. Every effort will be made to provide primary language instruction in the following circumstances:
a) at K-8 schools where there are twenty or more students with the same primary language at one grade level who have District-approved parent waivers for alternative programs.
b) at 9-12 schools when the school has sufficient numbers (20) with
District-approved parent waivers for alternative programs to warrant offering a primary language class for core subjects.
Materials used for instruction in the primary language should correlate directly to the District curriculum. See section VII-7 – 10 regarding parental waivers for bilingual instruction. Primary Language Assistance and Support Primary language assistance and/or support can be provided by an appropriately credentialed teacher in the student's primary language. Bilingual paraprofessionals can provide primary language support under the planning and direction of the classroom teacher. There is documentation that demonstrates that a system of planning for the Bilingual paraprofessional services to English learners is in place. Sheltered Instruction Specially designed academic instruction in English (SDAIE/GLAD) must be provided by a credentialed teacher who meets the state criteria. The purpose of sheltered instruction (SDAIE/GLAD) is to provide English learners with content instruction in English in a manner comprehensible to the student.
III-3
Self-Image and Cross-Cultural Understanding The Manteca Unified School District, in partnership with our diverse communities, is dedicated to all students achieving their academic and personal potentials. The underlying theme of the school program should be developing each student's self-image and cross-cultural understanding. Administration, staff, and parents plan together to provide opportunities for each student to develop their sense of self-worth and their respect and appreciation for other cultures. Instruction should enable students to acquire skills for living and working in a diverse society. Within the classroom this theme should be carried out as an integrated process within the regular program. Schoolwide activities should focus on improving all students’ knowledge of the cultures and languages represented by the students enrolled in the school.

English Language Development Curriculum
The English Language Development curriculum is based on the State English Language Development standards. Materials to support the standards will be purchased from the State-adopted list. Supplemental English Language Development curriculum and materials are available for use at all school sites.

Reclassification criteria.
Director of Compensatory Education
Coordinates and monitors procedure at District level.
All school districts in which English learners are enrolled are required to adopt language reclassification criteria, standards, and procedures which shall be used to determine when English learners have developed the English language skills necessary to succeed in English-only instruction, and may be reclassified to Fluent English Proficient (FEP) status. (Legal Reference: EC 62002)
The District's policy for reclassification aligns with the State Board of Education’s approved criteria and includes the following:
• An assessment of English proficiency as measured by student performance on the English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC), which will be utilized as the primary criterion. Consider for reclassification those students whose overall proficiency level is 4.
• Utilize the most recent available test data.
V-1
Comparison of Performance in Basic Skills – Definitions
1. “Performance in basic skills” means the score and/or performance level resulting from a recent administration of the English-Language Arts (ELA) CAASPP.
2. “Range of performance in basic skills” means a range of scores on the ELA - CAASPP corresponding to a performance level or a range within a performance level.
3. “Pupils of the same age” refers to pupils who are enrolled in the same grade as the student who is being considered for reclassification.
– Basic skills criteria:
1. A pupil’s score on the ELA - CAASPP in the range from the beginning of Standard Met level suggests that the pupil may be sufficiently prepared to participate effectively in the curriculum and should be considered for reclassification.
2. Pupils with scores above this range should be considered for reclassification.
3. For pupils scoring below this range, the District should attempt to determine whether factors other than English language proficiency are responsible for low performance on the ELA - CAASPP, and whether it is reasonable to reclassify the student.
4. For pupils in grade 12, the eleventh grade ELA - CAASPP Assessments results should be used.
5. The earliest grade that an English learner student may be eligible for reclassification is the end of 1st grade when the results of each student’s ELPAC summative assessment are available.
6. The District must monitor pupil performance for three years after reclassification in accordance with existing California regulations and the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation.
V-2
Teacher Evaluation
1. Use student academic performance; and
2. Note that incurred deficits in motivation and academic success unrelated to English language proficiency do not preclude a student from reclassification.
Parent Opinion and Consultation
1. Provide notice to parents and guardians of their right and encourage them to participate in the reclassification process; and
2. Provide an opportunity for a face-to-face meeting with parent or guardian.

Director of Compensatory Education
Coordinates the District English Learner Advisory Committee and monitors District-wide compliance.
Parents are the first and most influential teachers their children have. They instill values, model patterns of behavior, and demonstrate through example the place of education in their lives. Parents know the most about their children's out-of-school experiences and surroundings. They understand what motivates them. Moreover, parents can articulate what goals they hope the schools will help their children reach. Since parents have a vested interest in the success of the school program, they are encouraged to become partners with the schools in the education of their children. Parent Advisory Committees Parents are invited to participate in all advisory committees at both the school and District levels. In addition to the advisory groups available to all parents of students attending MUSD schools, specific opportunities are provided to parents of English learners. Both the school site English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) and the District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC) work towards a) keeping parents aware of current activities, policies and procedures affecting English learners; b) including parents in the decision-making and planning process within the realm of the committees and c) soliciting input and ideas on how to improve the programs and services to their children. See pages VII-4 and VII-5 for specific information regarding ELAC and DELAC.

Parent Education Each school develops activities as part of its school plan that directly relate to the involvement and education of parents of English learners. Some schools arrange special parent information nights with translators available. Communications regarding the meetings are written in Spanish. Most schools send home newsletters. The newsletters, and automated telephone messages are also utilized to increase parent communication. Some schools have arranged for after school or evening labs that invite both the English learners and their parents to participate in learning activities. Parents are made to feel included in, and necessary to, their child's educational success in school. The District continues to increase efforts to make sure that communications and related documents are available to parents in the most prevalent primary languages. See page VII-6 for specific strategies schools can use in meeting the MUSD goal for parent involvement.

Description of Program Placement Options and Goals for English Learners
All programs include English Language Development (ELD) and teaching strategies differentiated for each student’s level of English language proficiency. These strategies are used to help each student reach proficiency in speaking, reading and writing English, and succeed academically in all core subjects.
• Structured English Immersion (SEI): Students with minimally developed oral and written English skills are placed in an SEI program and are taught overwhelmingly in English. Some assistance may be provided in the primary language. Students are taught ELD and other core subjects by authorized teachers using district-adopted textbooks and supplementary materials. Instruction is based on ELD and grade-level content standards.
• English Language Mainstream (ELM): Students with somewhat to moderately developed oral and written English
skills are placed in an ELM program. They are taught ELD and other core subjects by authorized teachers using district-adopted textbooks and supplementary materials. Instruction is based on ELD and grade-level content standards. Students receive any additional instruction needed for them to be reclassified as fluent English proficient.
Parents/Guardians may choose a language acquisition program that best suits their child. Schools in which the parents or legal guardians of 30 pupils or more per school or the parents or legal guardians of 20 pupils or more in any grade request a language acquisition program that is designed to provide language instruction shall be required to offer such a program to the extent possible. (EC Section 310[a]) Parents may provide input regarding language acquisition programs during the development of the Local Control Accountability Plan. If interested in a different program from those listed above, please contact Lisa Herrin @ (209) 858-0853 to ask about the process.
