The ELL Master Plan is a timeless reference document for all stakeholders in the District, especially site leaders and teachers. The guidance it provides is based on phased implementation over the next three years.

In 2016-17, we focused on building awareness of the ELL Master Plan and developing foundational practices such as strengthening reclassification processes and building Designated and/or Integrated ELD practices.

The ELLMA team oriented all ELL Ambassadors, Executive Principals, Network Superintendents, Common Core Teacher Leaders and many stakeholders throughout the District to the ELL Master Plan.

In 2017-18 we will continue to support school sites in following the phased implementation guidance in order to see shifts in school practice.

Our goals include:

• Build and strengthen Integrated and Designated English for ELLs at all schools.
• Specific attention to the needs of English Language Learners in the development of the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSAs).
• Support Instructional leadership teams in doing a bi-annual ELL data review.
