    5. Goals To review the ELSSA Tool and highlight changes to the revision To review the ELSSA Toolkit

    6. 6 Poll: How familiar are you with the ELSSA? I have completed it in the past I have seen it, but have not completed it. I have never seen the ELSSA before today.

    7. 7 Purpose of ELSSA The ELSSA is a required tool for Local Education Agencies (LEA) that have not met Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs) in Title III for two or four consecutive years. It is also required for LEAs in Title 1 Program Improvement due to their English learner (EL) subgroup.

    8. 8 The Purpose of ELSSA It may be used by LEAs that wish to examine their programs and services for ELs. Helps identify key challenge areas, explore root causes for English learners not meeting the AMAOs.

    9. 9

    10. 10 ELSSA helps LEAs formulate key questions… How well are ELs progressing on California English Language Development Test (CELDT)? How many reach English proficient in reasonable time? How do ELs meeting CELDT criterion (proficient) perform on CST?

    11. 11 More questions… How do Redesignated Fluent English Proficient (RFEP) perform on California Standardized Testing (CST)? How do ELs and RFEPs perform on California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE)? How well are we implementing relevant program components?

    12. 12 What ELSSA Does Assembles data from CELDT, CST and CAHSEE that relate to AMAOs 1, 2, and 3. Disaggregates the data by years in U.S. schools and by language proficiency.

    13. 13 What ELSSA Does Helps identify areas of challenge that can be addressed to improve EL achievement. Provides guiding questions to facilitate conversations around what the data shows.

    14. 14 ELSSA Guides Plan Development Must be completed and uploaded/attached to: Title III Year 2 Improvement Plan Addendum Title III Year 4 LEA Action Plan Title I Program Improvement Plan related to the English learner subgroup

    15. 15 What ELSSA does NOT do: Give school level information Analyze data Address Highly Qualified Teachers or other aspects of NCLB not directly related to English learners Evaluate the programs and services for English learners

    16. 16 What’s new on the revised ELSSA? The tool will have the same data tables as the original version, but in a different order based on feedback from the subcommittee members.

    17. 17 New Table Functionality The revised ELSSA has one worksheet for LEAs to input data and a separate worksheet for staff to view the data and respond to guiding questions and survey items related to EL programs and services.

    18. 18 Table Functionality Once the data is added, it cannot be accidentally altered by staff facilitating the data analysis and survey item administration.

    19. 19 Table Functionality Tables are color coded in yellow to indicate where LEA staff need to supply data or respond to questions and survey items. Notes to guide the preparer are clickable, italicized and shaded green.

    20. 20 The Survey Items The Survey Items have been moved from a separate worksheet of the tool and placed directly below the data table that best relates to each respective item.

    21. 21 The Survey Items The Survey Items on the ELSSA are rated on a Likert-scale using the same ratings as are used in the APS. All items must receive at least a rating of 3 for the school or LEA to be considered as performing that objective at an acceptable level.

    22. 22 The Survey Items The 3 rating indicates a substantial level of implementation. The chart on the next slide describes the criteria of each objective per rating level.

    23. 23

    24. 24 The responses to the survey items will be tabulated by each table and will be aggregated into a table in a separate worksheet by EL program and service categories. The categories are: 1.  ELD 2. Access/Opportunity to learn    a. ELA    b. Mathematics    c. Intervention    d. Placement 3. Professional Development 4. Assessment 5. Accountability

    25. Poll: How familiar are you with MS Excel? I can create pivot tables and formulas. I use Excel when others create the formulas. I know the components of a workbook. I do not use Excel at all.

    26. Poll: How familiar are you with Title III AMAOs? I understand what they measure and know the targets for this year. I know what they measure, but I’m not sure about this year’s targets. What are AMAOs?

    27. Live Demo

    28. Poll: How familiar are you with DataQuest? I use it regularly to access achievement and demographic data. I have seen DataQuest reports, but have not accessed them from the site myself. What is DataQuest?

    29. 29 What else is new? There is now a guidance document, the ELSSA Toolkit, that provides guidance in the administration of the survey questions and technical assistance for table completion.

    30. 30 Administration of the ELSSA The ELSSA Toolkit provides instructions for the administration of the survey items after the tables have been completed. Alternate options are also described for the administration of the tool and additional data an LEA might want to examine.

    31. 31 A Facilitated Group Administration is Recommended The benefits of a facilitated administration include: Understanding of the progress of English learners by many stakeholders through rich dialog around the data. The creation of a high quality, effective IPA or LEA Plan Addendum More thorough implementation of the plan due to increased understanding and staff buy in.

    32. 32 The ELSSA Toolkit The technical guidance for table completion is designed to support staff who have had very little experience with databases. It includes screen shots to assist in extracting the necessary data from the local Student Information System.

    35. 35 Simple, clear instructions guide the use of pivot tables To count the 2007-08 test takers, drag and drop the field containing this data on the word Total to the left of your count.

    36. 36 Technical Assistance Webinar For more information on Title III Accountability for LEAs in the 4th year of not meeting AMAOs, there will be a webinar on 10/7/09 at 1:00 p.m. For LEAs in the 2nd year of not meeting AMAOs, there will be a webinar on 10/13/09 at 10:00 a.m.

    37. 37 This and the other Title III Webinars will be archived for ongoing reference at: http://www.cacompcenter.org/esea-requirements
