4 Base Program Description: Reading/Language Arts I. Content and Coverage: The Language Arts Program is based on the state adopted English/Language Arts Content Standards and the Reading/Language Arts Framework for California Public Schools. The English/Language Arts Content Standards include the following strands at each grade level: Reading; Writing; Written and Oral English Language Conventions; and Listening and Speaking. II. Materials: A. Macmillan/McGraw-Hill, California Treasures was selected from the approved textbook matrix adopted by the California State Board of Education and by the district Board of Trustees. CA Treasures program materials will be provided for teachers and students in grades K-6. These materials will be used for Language Arts instruction including: reading, writing, listening and speaking. III. Content Scheduling: A. The Language Arts program in TRUSD is made up of two essential elements: The first element is Macmillan/McGraw-Hill California Treasures which is whole-class instruction using the CA Treasures grade-level materials focusing on the content standards in reading and writing. The second element is Differentiated Instruction small, homogenouslygrouped, using materials at the students instructional level. This provides practice with readable text and skill/concept instruction based on the needs of students. B. It is recommended that the Language Arts instruction be scheduled for at least two and one-half hours per day time including a minimum of 30 minutes of differentiated instruction. Every attempt should be made to integrate other areas of the curriculum into language arts. An instructional pacing schedule can be found in the Curriculum and Assessment Guide for each grade level. 4

5 IV. Teaching Strategies: A. Differentiated instruction provides the opportunity for flexible, fluid grouping within a classroom. Student groups will change throughout the year based on student assessments. B. The ELD portion of the day provides the opportunity to differentiate for English Learners. A minimum of 30 minutes of ELD instruction is required based on students CELDT levels. C. Assigned homework will vary based on the instructional level of the students. The assignments will reinforce previously taught skills and give parents/guardians an opportunity to be involved in student learning. V. Pupil Evaluation: Assessment should be ongoing and regular. A. Screening/Entry Level assessments are used to: o Find out more about what students know and need to learn. o Plan extra support to help students catch up to grade level. o Assist the teachers in organizing classroom and grade level instruction to target specific needs while continuing to teach the core program to all students. B. Monitoring assessments are used to: o Check on the progress of the class in learning the content and skills contained in the comprehensive instructional program. o Help the teacher emphasize areas of the core instructional program to meet the needs of students. o Develop a database to be shared with the grade level and the school to evaluate progress on the reading language arts standards by groups of students. C. Outcome/Summative assessments are used to: o Assess student progress in meeting the standards in reading and language arts across the class, grade level and school. o Provide student learning data on the long-term outcomes of the instructional program. o Uncover issues related to the needs of school populations and the alignment of the instructional program to the state standards in reading and language arts. 5

14 English Learner (EL) Program The primary goal of the EL Program is to support EL students in their acquisition of English for successful academic progress in instructional base program areas. Direct services to students are delivered by teachers who have authorization of the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC). Primary language support, for the equal access to the core curriculum, is provided by bilingual paraeducators. I. Content and Coverage: English Language Development The ELD program is based on the state adopted ELD Standards and the Reading/Language Arts Frameworks for California Public Schools. The ELD Standards include the following strands at each California English Language Development Test (CELDT) proficiency level/grade: Listening, speaking, reading and writing. II. Materials: A.

Various grouping formats as determined by the teacher and/or school site. 14

15 IV. Teaching Strategies: A. Teachers differentiate instruction to match the type and complexity of skills and concepts being taught in order to meet the needs, interests, and learning styles of the students. B. The essential components of an ELD lesson are: Address specific ELD standards Explicitly link concepts to background experiences Explicitly link past learning with new concepts Emphasize key vocabulary (i.e. introduce, write, repeat or highlight) Provide modeling, comprehensible input, guided practice, and independent practice Pupil Evaluation C. The CELDT assessment is administered yearly to all District English Learners during the period of July through October. D. The Language Dominance test is administered to EL students to determine proficiency in their primary language. Alternative Bilingual Early Exit Program An early exit (K-3) Spanish bilingual program at Madison and Noralto Schools provides students English Language Development and access to the core curriculum through Spanish. Classrooms are staffed by BCLAD teachers or CLAD teachers teamed with bilingual Paraeducators. All students in grades K-3 participating in the Alternative Bilingual Early Exit Program will receive a regular report card reflecting the Spanish/English curriculum. EL/ELD is to be checked for all EL students except those redesignated (RFEP). 15

16 English Learning Students English Learners (ELs) are identified by means of the Home Language Survey and then tested using the California English Language Development Test (CELDT).
