Step # 1

Every student that enrolls in Horatio School District is required to complete a

Home Language

Survey

How does a student enter the program?

Sample Home Language Survey

Page 22: Horatio School District Federal Programs

If another language besides English is listed on the Home Language Survey...

Step # 2

Student must be assessed with LAS Links.

LAS Links - is an English Proficiency Test

Page 23: Horatio School District Federal Programs

After assessing with LAS Links...

• If a student’s score indicates that (s)he is not proficient in the English language, (s)he enters our ESL program.

• A letter of notification is sent to the parents.

• Parents have the right to deny ESL services. However, the student is still labeled LEP (Limited English Proficient) and is in the program but will not receive any assistance.

Page 24: Horatio School District Federal Programs

Once in the ESL program...

• Students are served based on their individual needs.

• Students receive small group or individual supplemental instruction from either myself or Ms. Tonya McKinley.

• Students may be seen every day, 2 to 3 days a week, or simply monitored. This is based on the student’s needs, classroom performance, and standardized test scores.

Page 25: Horatio School District Federal Programs

ELL’s are assessed each April by taking

the ELDA

E.L.D.A. English Language Development

Assessment

Page 26: Horatio School District Federal Programs

How does a student exit the program?

A student must...* Score 5’s on each section of

the ELDA (Scale Range 1 - 5),

* Score Proficient or Advanced on the Benchmark, and * Have a “C” average in all core classes.Finally, I will meet with a committee consisting of a classroom teacher, literacy coach, principal, and counselor to discuss exiting the student.

Page 27: Horatio School District Federal Programs

Progress Monitoring

• Constant communication with classroom teacher.

• Progress reports are reviewed for each student.

• Reports cards are reviewed for each student.

• ELDA scores and standardized test scores are used to examine progress from year to year.

• We did not meet goals for Elementary Math.

• We met or exceeded goals in the following:

• Elementary Literacy

• High School Literacy

• High School Math

Page 29: Horatio School District Federal Programs

Peer Evaluation

• At the end of each year, I ask every teacher to participate in an anonymous evaluation of the ESL program.

• Teachers are encouraged to give me feedback on the program.

• The purpose of the evaluation is to address concerns in order to better serve students.

Page 30: Horatio School District Federal Programs

Parental Involvement• Last Spring, I taught an adult ESL class at our high

school in partnership with UA Cossatot’s Adult Education Department. I had 18 adults enrolled in the class.

• This year, we have contacted those parents and invited them to continue their learning by attending classes on the campus of UA Cossatot.

• There are several reasons for this. First, classes are offered at several different times each week. This allows parents to choose the class time that fits their schedule.

• Second, they can prepare for the GED exam.

• To stay connected, I volunteer every Thursday from 6 - 8.

Page 31: Horatio School District Federal Programs

Special Thanks• To the classroom teachers for their hard

work

• To the administration for their support

• To the parents for their cooperation

• To Tammy McAlister, Shelley Crenshaw, Misty Ward, Misty Gentry, Tammie Dobbins, Ginger Young, and Tonya McKinley

• To Sandra Martinez for her help with translating at the elementary during parent teacher conferences.
