the full board to provide additional information and more background to the board as a whole so tonight's outcome to provide a historic legal context of the action plan for english learns as our fraction for the el services we're to zero in and touch on the academic support through the english language development and share the pathways under the action plan. >> aren't those kids cute those are the original class this is the original class from 1970s and budget analyst report it's councilmember bonin been 40 years since nickels was approved and sfleltd by the court with the anniversary we wanted to reflect on what's been happening

with the english learner services and provided complexity in 18970s is spattered started with a bunch of china's parents they didn't provide services for the english learners in 197 had the content degree was approved and required the district to make sure they had access in 1975 the district adapted it's first matter of the plan for the bio cultural education in 2008 that's when the district allowed the plaintiffs for the action plan this inexpensive outlined the pathways services this is an outline it includes the following guidelines proper identification and access to a

effective programs including the language pathway and access to services including the special education and appropriate staffing and professional development and parent outreach and development and particularly more related to translation and interpretation services as always internal elevation you have in our packet the master plan filed in 2008 in terms of the all the details so in terms of english language development we wanted to provide information about what is required under the allowable plan e l d is required from the state and federal law the state and require a certain specified number of minutes but the districts plan specifically

requires that every english learner get thirty minutes by the english proficiency redesignation so from 2009 and 2011 the district had a rigorous e led with the resources examples and lessons for teachers every year we had over 5 hundred teachers and school administrators receive the special developments on e led we monitored the e led and shared the best practice with the schools and now we actually are contributing into a new el set of standards looking at 2013 and beyond i wanted to first take a look at the 1999 el the

instruction it's separate and isolated no concept with the academic instruction in english the instruction now with the 2012 california e l d it's connected so for example if a teacher is introducing students to key language during designated e l d their actually more prepared during the placate or science so they're prepared to engage with their peers we had integrated e l d the teachers pulled from the common core and e l d to support the language during the consent instruction this is in practices

fully for the english they're getting the english development throughout the day that's a significant change that will benefit the english learners this is other way to look at it a graphic way if you have all your classes math and sciences the designated e l d within the piece of content there's a space for e l d this is the multi lingual multi approach to delivering the e l d as we transition in year one we want to make sure all our teachers and administrators are aware the changes and shifts and think about how to adjust their curriculum and renunciation to better serve the english learners in year two we're heaping e hoping the designate e l d time the teachers will have

that and be able to integrate the e l d work with full implementation so the different tiers we'll have a level of information that all teachers will be given and year two there are schools that have higher numbers of english learners and tier there 3 that's targeted support and this is really like for new comer packet we have unpointed out children we want to focus and make sure their needs are taken care of so the english learners need individual talk and small groups and full classes with that wide range there are two key documents that are included in our packet we're using one is called the 5 essential practices with the integrated structural day and this really gives

teachers an idea of the types of things they can do with the fostering of ask the collaboration the constant nominee a lot of nor standpoint talk and less teacher talk the teacher is providing the instruction but the teachers will engage for the students to engage gay each other the other goals for talking in a meaningful ways and asking for evidence or reasoning those are excluded in attachment b and c the english development a baseline core service for els and there are students in our english plus program that's their baseline and in the pathway they go ahead e l d but language instruction

so
