ESL Announcements
From Kristen Scott
n our ESL department professional learning on October 9th we went over MAP data. Your ESL staff will be creating a plan for your building and they will then present it to you. We ask that you help them refine the plan based on your building priorities. The deadline for submitting the plan will be mid second quarter; and a template will be provided to the ESL staff.
We also clarified that aides and translators are not to be translating instructional materials; this is not our program. If you have specific questions about this please email Kristen Scott.
