Summary
:
In December 2010, Mt. Diablo Unified School District Board of Education approved a contract with Norm Gold and Associates to conduct an audit of the District's English Learners Program. The overall goal of the evaluation is for Mt. Diablo to operate programs for English Learners (ELs) that provide for their optimal development of academic competence as well as optimal language and cultural proficiencies. The evaluation focused on the following areas:
1. Better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the current programs for English Learners.
2. Recommendations for improvements in the major elements of structure and instruction for English Learner programs, leading to
3. Improvements in academic, language and cultural proficiencies for all English Learners.
The evaluation was conducted from February 2011 to May 2011. It included data review as well as visits to 5 schools and interviews with groups of teachers, parents, site and district administrators.
Dr. Gold will be presenting to the Board of Education the findings of the English Learners audit.
Based on preliminary review of the audit report, we have prepared a Request For Proposal (RFP) to revise the district's English Learner Master Plan. We anticipate awarding the contract by the end of June. This project will be funded by the following sources: Title III, Economic Impact Aid/Limited English Proficient (EIA/LEP), and the School Improvement Grant (SIG).
