ELSSA+Survey


 * ELSSA** stands for **English Learner Subgroup Self Assessment**
 * It is intended to be used by Program Improvement districts as part of Title III accountability
 * FCUSD entered program improvement this year because we didn’t meet the goals in English Language Arts and Math for 5 subgroups: Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Socio-Economically Disadvantaged, English Learners and Students with Disabilities
 * Because the target is set higher and higher every year, the projection is very few subgroups will be able to reach their goals unless there are changes in ESEA (the Elementary and Secondary Educational Act)
 * Last year, our English Learners made the AMAO 1 goal (percent of ELs making annual progress in learning English). They also made the AMAO 2 goal (percent of ELs attaining English proficiency). They didn’t however meet the AMAO 3 goals (percent of ELs who scored at proficient or advance levels on the CST)
 * FCUSD didn’t meet our CST targets in both English Language Arts and Math
 * Each site needs to create an impovement plan for English Learners.
 * A district EL improvement plan needs to be sent to CDE by January, 2011.
