#	Use Case Title	Use Case Description	What to Submit/retrieve
1.0	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®. School districts are expected to follow the statewide standardized procedures for identifying English learners which includes the use of the Wisconsin Home Language Survey (HLS) and appropriate screeners as outlined in the DPI EL policy handbook. See PI 13.06 Identification of ELP Pupils and ESEA Bulletin No. 7.01 Identification of Students as English Language Learners (Entry). For each student, the Limited English Proficiency (ELP) code should be the same both on /studentEducationOrganizationAssociation (SEOA) and /studentLanguageInstructionProgramAssociation (SLIPA)	POST on /studentEducationOrganizationAssociation: limitedEnglishProficiencyDescriptor: (based on current year screener test results) POST on /studentLanguageInstructionProgramAssociation: monitoredDescriptor: (not required for EL 1-5) proficiencyDescriptor: (based on current year screener test results) schoolYearTypeReference: schoolYear: (current school year)
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.

3.0	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: /studentLanguageInstructionProgramAssociation (Public LEA Only) \| Descriptors & Programs: ) 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.	POST on /studentLanguageInstructionProgramAssociation: languageInstructionProgramServices: languageInstructionProgramServiceDescriptor: uri://dpi.wi.gov/languageInstructionProgramServiceDescriptor#BI-DLTW primaryIndicator: true
4.0	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.	POST on /studentLanguageInstructionProgramAssociation: languageInstructionProgramServices: languageInstructionProgramServiceDescriptor: uri://dpi.wi.gov/languageInstructionProgramServiceDescriptor#OTHER
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.	POST on /section: instructionLanguageDescriptor: uri://dpi.wi.gov/LanguageDescriptor#ara
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.

7.0	Sending assessment details and language program services for previous English language learner who is proficient in English (second year as proficient) based on prior year assessment	The Language Instruction Monitoring Year ‘monitoredDescriptor’ should be submitted as Year 2 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.

8.0	Sending assessment details and language program services for previous English language learner who is proficient in English (third year as proficient) based on prior year assessment	For students who have completed two years of monitoring, the language instruction program association is no longer needed to be submitted to WISEdata. The ELP code on /SEOA should be submited as 6.	POST on /studentEducationOrganizationAssociation: limitedEnglishProficiencyDescriptor: uri://dpi.wi.gov/LimitedEnglishProficiencyDescriptor#6
9.0	Sending language program services for a student who is proficient in English but still receiving language program services	If the student is receiving language instruction services beyond the second year of monitoring, such as a Bilingual/ESL program, LEA may choose to submit that data as a regular student program association /studentProgramAssociation (SPA). Starting 2022-23 SY, the allowable Program Types and Program Names for reporting LIEP have been changed. To see the updated Program Types and Program Names, see /studentLanguageInstructionProgramAssociation (Public LEA Only) \| Descriptors & Programs:	POST on /studentEducationOrganizationAssociation: limitedEnglishProficiencyDescriptor: uri://dpi.wi.gov/LimitedEnglishProficiencyDescriptor#6 POST on /studentProgramAssociation: programTypeDescriptor: uri://dpi.wi.gov/ProgramTypeDescriptor#LIEP-ESL programName: Integrated ESL
10.0	Sending a student who a native English speaker sitting in bilingual language program class	In some exceptional cases, students could be native English speaker and receiving language program services. In such cases, do not submit /SLIPA instead submit /SPA. Starting 2022-23 SY, the allowable Program Types and Program Names for reporting LIEP have been changed. To see the updated Program Types and Program Names, see /studentLanguageInstructionProgramAssociation (Public LEA Only) \| Descriptors & Programs:	POST on /studentEducationOrganizationAssociation: limitedEnglishProficiencyDescriptor: uri://dpi.wi.gov/LimitedEnglishProficiencyDescriptor#7 POST on /studentProgramAssociation: programTypeDescriptor: uri://dpi.wi.gov/ProgramTypeDescriptor#LIEP-Bilingual programName: Transitional Bilingual-Late Exit
11.0	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.
