Announcement Message

School leaders, please confirm the Secondary 2021-22 Secondary EL Coordinator for your school site. The EL Coordinator has an important role in secondary school sites. This teacher leader provides guidance around effective practices for both integrated and designated ELD, shares updated information with colleagues about policies and requirements for English learners, and, most often, serves on the ILT. Here is a more detailed description of the role and application.
-
EL Coordinators will meet every other month. They will receive coaching and support and monthly updates. Please read our EL Coordinator August updates.

Please bookmark this landing page: Secondary ELD Requirements and Resources, which includes guidelines for middle and high school designated ELD placement and the ELD Placement Data Illuminate Report to support you with this task. We recognize many students have not taken the ELPAC for several years and this report is incomplete. You may need to informally assess a student’s level of English proficiency to determine the best learning context for individual students. As part of a state audit, MPD annually collects master schedules with Designated ELD highlighted. These are due on September 1st and can be sent to Amy at gottesfelda@sfusd.edu. Thank you

Please review the Understanding EL Data and Reclassification slide deck and recorded Admin Institute workshop for additional information.
