Why is this student being reported as being served in your district’s English language development program?• An exited TBIP student reported incorrectly? (Correct now and adjust

the P-223 to not include this student as a current EL)• Intentionally reassessed for EL services because of a persistent

language barrier? (Maintain documentation regarding the district’s process for placing the student back into program services)

Guidelines UpdatesReclassification of Exited English Learners

• After scoring Proficient, a very small percentage of exited English learners will demonstrate a need to be re-entered into the English language development program.

• Students may be considered for rescreening after a Proficient score on the screener or the annual ELD assessment.

• Prior to re-assessing students for the English language development program, a review must be conducted of the supports and data that are related to the proficient student.

• The district must hold a meeting with the student’s family to review the data and supports prior to re-assessing a proficient student for the ELD program.

• After a student receives a proficient score on the screener or the annual ELP assessment, the student’s family must consent in writing to rescreening their child for the ELD program.

• Students who requalify for the TBIP program are eligible to be funded through TBIP.

• Proficient Title III Native Americans and private school students may be rescreened, but they may not be funded through TBIP.

Equity and Access for All Highly Capable StudentsMigrant and Bilingual Education Program Updates

OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

JODY HESS, PROGRAM SUPERVISOR

JASON MILLER, PROGRAM SUPERVISOR

29

Match identification procedures and programming

with levels of developed talentSchool culture must reject deficit thinking about low-income and racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse students to create pathways to high achievement for these students.

Teacher and administrator beliefs about talent, specifically that ability is malleable and achievement reflects previous opportunity to learn, are critical to a school culture focused on talent development of all children with high potential.

30

Match identification procedures and programming

with levels of developed talentThese beliefs include mindsets, or students’ beliefs about intelligence and ability. Those who believe that intelligence and ability is fixed tend to attribute success as a result of ability alone and tend to blame lack of success on a lack of talent.

Young Scholars programs use challenging curriculum with kindergarten through second graders to help reveal exceptional thinking, interest, and motivation.

31

Match identification procedures and programming

with levels of developed talentThe program uses standardized tests for this purpose, and includes students within a wider range of achievement — top 25% — one that is matched to the students’ level of developed talent, their younger ages, and previous opportunity to learn.

Students’ abilities are nurtured by cluster grouping them within classrooms taught by teachers trained to provide differentiated, advanced lessons.

32

Match identification procedures and programming

with levels of developed talent

Programs for younger students cast a wide net, using a broader range of qualifying criteria and allowing students exposure to advanced curriculum that shows readiness for advanced coursework.

As older students become more expert in a specific area, programs to support talent development (e.g. AP courses) emphasize demonstrated achievement.

33

Match identification procedures and programming

with levels of developed talent

Students with the potential to achieve need challenging curriculum and enriched learning opportunities to demonstrate their advanced ability.

Teachers look for evidence of gifted potential through a review of daily learning activities, performance assessments, and interactions with their students.

34

Match identification procedures and programming

with levels of developed talent

They are also trained to spot behavioral indications of advanced reasoning and thinking in their young students.

Through this focus on teacher training, many more students’ talents have been revealed and more culturally and linguistically diverse students are identified for Highly Capable services.

35

Goals of Identification for Highly Capable Services

Look for student strengths early and cultivate over time, to provide appropriately challenging instruction.

Recognize that asynchronous development occurs frequently, so a student may excel in one subject and have average or below performance in other content areas.

Gather performance data for English learners (ELs) to include non-language-dependent measures.

Avoid the deficit mindset!

Look for and encourage positive evidence of strengths.

36

Form Package 217 new page 7How district will address equitable identification of low-income students

Because this new aspect of basic education and the Highly Capable Program became law in July 2017, LEAs will provide dates and description of plans and meetings to form a strategy for addressing equitable identification of low-income students.

1. Identify person(s) responsible for developing and implementing LEA equitable identification plan to address low-income students.

37

Form Package 217 new page 7 (continued)

2. Please explain what actions your LEA will take to prioritize equitable identification of low-income students, and the LEA’s timeline to implement during 2017-18 identification cycle.

38

Actions districts will take to prioritize equitable identification of low income

studentsUse alternate assessment for English learners

Produce registration packets to include Highly Capable information in Spanish

Review ELPA scores for students with rapid growth

Universal screening by reviewing data from academic assessments

Contact parents in preferred language to explain benefits of identification and service

Use HOPE scale in spring with student’s best work

39

Actions districts will take to prioritize equitable identification of low income

studentsStudent Work Sample Pilot: National Elementary Principals Association recommends multiple assessments based on premise that no one test can sample all the behaviors a high ability student may demonstrate.

Body of evidence includes quantitative and qualitative data.

Teachers provide challenging, differentiated opportunities in the classroom for portfolios and use evidence from home, school and extracurricular activities.

Multidisciplinary Team reviews this additional information to create broader picture of student performance and ability.

Common QuestionsI’ve had some common questions coming in over the last few weeks, and I thought I would add them here in case others have not heard.

Can students complete a test on a different day?

Yes. All domains can be paused and completed on a subsequent day. If the domain is not completed by the end of the test window, the test will be automatically submitted.

What do we do for students who cannot or do not engage, or the stop answering questions?

You can pause a student’s test and return to it later.

If a student has answered a question, and the paused test is not submitted prior to the end of the test window, it will be automatically submitted for scoring at the end of the window.

If a student has answered no questions, the student will receive and “N” code indicating not attempted on the score report.

OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

73

Common Questions continuedWhat do I do if I missed the window for WIDA pre-identification? What if I have new students

who will need WIDA testing?

There will be an window for additional material orders. The dates have not yet been determined. Within the contract, each district will be allowed one additional materials order. Subsequent orders will come at a cost to the district, so please plan ahead.

What do we do if we cannot attend one of the WIDA trainings?

If you have a colleague attending, WIDA will provide a module that participants can use to train their colleagues.

OSPI is working with WIDA to provide an online training option. It is not clear when this will be complete and available.
