Summary:
|
Due to the fact that our English learner students have not met their AYP targets for the last 3 years, Mt. Diablo was required to develop a Title III: LEA Improvement Plan Addendum which described how the district would improve their program for English learners. Developing this plan required an evaluation of the instructional materials being used in English Language Development (ELD) classes. The adopted materials currently being used in the secondary ELD classes are 7 years old and were published prior to the adoption of the California English Language Development Standards. The Title III: LEA Improvement Plan Addendum submitted to the California State Department addressed the issue of non-standards based ELD materials by identifying as an action item the pilot of new ELD materials for 6-8th and 9th-12th grades. During 2008-2009 9-12 grade teachers participated in a pilot of new ELD materials to be used in English Language Development classes. 6-8 grade teachers conducted a review of the State adopted ELD materials. After the pilot and the evaluation of the materials EDGE by National Geographic/Hampton Brown and INSIDE by National Geographic/Hampton Brown exceed expectations and are now brought for Board approval. |
