LAU PLAN
• LAU Plan-Every district in the state has to have a LAU plan (ELL plan) even if there are no ELL students in the district.
• Support from stakeholders to develop the LAU plan. (Ying and Grant Wood AEA representatives)
• Access is on the prairiepride.org website and can be translated into a variety of languages.
LAU PLAN…
• Every year we have an ELL evaluation plan in May (Stakeholder meeting) to comply with state guidelines.
• PD: ELL teams offer a variety of PD days to district staff to enhance the instruction in the mainstream classroom and increase ELL awareness.
- The ELL teachers have taught SIOP (Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol) to a variety of teachers in and outside of our district. We have all had many student teachers and/or practicum students.
LAU Plan
Components:• Screening process-home language survey. TELPA, I-ELDA
• Program Definition: co-teaching, SIOP training, pull-out model, program is designed on individual and building needs. We teach reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Based on common core and ELL standards.
