Sending assessment details and language program services for an English language learner who is newly identified as EL based on the screener

Any new student in grade KG (five-year-old)-12 who is identified as a possible English Learner (EL) based on their Home Language Survey (HLS) must be administered an approved ELP Screener within 30 days of enrollment to determine EL status and, if EL, to determine the appropriate ELP code. The results of the screener must be used for new students who have not yet taken ACCESS for ELLs®.

2.0

Sending assessment details and language program services for an English language learner who is continuing as EL in the current school year

English Language Proficiency codes should be determined based on the prior year administration of the ACCESS for ELs exam for most students.

Students who complete ACCESS for ELLs® receive an Overall Composite Proficiency Level Score that reflects the results of ACCESS for ELLs® testing across multiple domains. The Overall Composite Proficiency Level Score, if available, will be used by WISEdata to verify that an appropriate English Language Proficiency code (ELP code) is sent for the student. The Overall Composite Proficiency Level Score from the prior year is used for this verification.

Sending Language Instruction Services for English Learners

The codes values and definitions for the LanguageInstructionProgramServiceDescriptor have been changed for the 2022-23 SY. (See descriptor details above: )

A primary LIEP service must be indicated with a true/false indicator (primaryIndicator). The primary LIEP is the one in which a student spends the majority of their time.

LEAs may send secondary language instruction services.

Sending Language Instruction Services as ‘OTHER’

When school districts select ‘OTHER’ as a language instruction educational program, the program must be described for review and approval as outlined in the Title III-A English Learners section of the ESSA LEA Plan (through the WISEgrants Application).

  • LEAs who select ‘OTHER’ as languageInstructionProgramServiceDescriptor will receive Warning 7170 in WISEdata Portal.

5.0

Sending the Language of Instruction on the class level as par tof Roster data.

LEAs should send the primary “predominant” language of Instruction (not the language of learner).

  • SIS vendors should send the language of Instruction (instructionLanguageDescriptor) on /Section.

  • SIS vendors should send data if a course is taught in other languages. Otherwise, leave as Null/Blank.

  • If instructionLanguageDescriptor is not provided, DPI assumes language of Instruction is Eng.

The primary purpose of collecting data on course language of instruction (language through which teaching and learning is facilitated) is:

This data set will allow DPI teams to correlate student academic performance data with education program model and academic subjects taught in English versus languages other than English (LOTE). It will also help DPI identify cohorts of educators for professional learning and growth related to this work.

6.0

Sending assessment details and language program services for previous English language learner who is proficient in English (first year as proficient) based on prior year assessment

English language learners who are now proficient (EL code 6) are monitored for two years on content achievement. This data element should not be submitted for English language learners with proficiency codes 1-5, students who were never English language learners (EL code 7), or students who have completed two years of monitoring.

  • The Language Instruction Monitoring Year ‘monitoredDescriptor’ should be submitted as Year 1

  • The Language Instruction Assessment Year 'schoolYear’ should be the year that the student took the assessment that determines the student's current English language proficiency code. Enter the numeric year that the assessment was administered, such as 2020.

Typically, when students are a level 6, they are exited from programming. With that said, that doesn't foreclose an LEA from providing some language instruction services to address any residual learning gaps, but DPI does not expect LEAs to report an LIEP service any longer -- unless they are reclassified back into programming. LEAs may want that information for their own purposes internally -- that kids are still being served, but for reporting purposes, DPI doesn’t require reporting LIEP services for proficient (ELP 6) students at their 1st and 2nd year of monitoring.

SIS ability to support recording two years of ACCESS scores at the same time, but only send one to WISEdata

ACCESS for ELs administered in the winter for the following school year (generally from early December until early February).

  • Loading the ACCESS scores for the following school year should NOT override existing ELP codes on /SEOA and /SLIPA in the current year.

  • The SIS should NOT send new SLIPA records with the load of the following school year ACCESS scores.

ACCESS for ELs administered in the winter for the following school year should NOT trigger any changes on /SLIPA and /SEOA for the current year.
