PROGRAM DESIGN K-12

Corona-Norco Unified School District followed the state curriculum design for English learners

(EL), previously called Limited English Proficient (LEP) students. This design includes

provisions for achieving high academic success, second language acquisition, and high self-

esteem. The matrices on the next pages of both the elementary (K-6) and secondary levels (7-

12) reflect the instructional program options provided for English learners at each level of

English Language proficiency. Students at beginning fluency levels may receive the core

curriculum through Structured English Immersion, a strong English Language Development

(ELD) program, and primary language coupled with the support of his/her culture embedded in

the instructional program. Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English (SDAIE) and

mainstream instruction are introduced and gradually increased as the English learner progresses

through the instructional program. Special Education English Learners are ensured equal access

to the core as indicated in their Individual Education Plan (IEP). This access includes, but is not

limited to, English Language Development and SDAIE strategies.

INTRODUCTION—PROGRAM OPTIONS

Parents of K-6 English learners may select one of four program options for their children.

Option #1 is Structured English Immersion. In this option, the student is provided with English

instruction with primary language support. If parents select Option 2 (English Language

Mainstream), students receive instruction in English. Parents opting for Option 3 (Transitional

Bilingual Program) choose to place their children in Spanish instruction and transition to

English. Parents selecting Option 4 (Dual Immersion) choose to place their student in a program

wherein English learners and English only students receive all instruction in Spanish beginning

in Kindergarten. Refer to the program options section for further details on each of these options.

At the 7-12 level, parents of English learners may select one of three program options for their

children. Option #1 is Structured English Immersion. CELDT level 1, 2, and 3 students are

placed in English Language Development classes according to their level of proficiency in

English and receive content instruction in all core areas in English using SDAIE methodology.

As their proficiency in English increases, they are transitioned into all mainstream classes in all

subjects by the time they reach CELDT level 5. At this time, their English Language

Development is delivered via their SDAIE English class. In Option 2, English Language

Mainstream (ELM), the student receives instruction in English. There is no primary language

support for students receiving this option. The third option is Transitional Bilingual Program

(TBE). Parents selecting this program for their students choose to place their children in Spanish

instruction and then transition to English.

Under the English Language Education requirements of Education Code 305 (English Language Education for Immigrant

Children) Article 2, parents of English learner students may request that their student be placed in a Waiver Program, such

as the Dual Language Immersion Program.

OPTION 4: Alternative Program--Dual Immersion Program

This option is available for CELDT levels 1-5.

Students must enter this program in Kindergarten to be eligible to participate. The goal of this program

is to develop high levels of fluency in Spanish and English (bilingualism) and a strong academic foundation in

both languages (biliteracy). Instruction and materials are in Spanish at the primary grades with some core

subjects in English. The expectation is that students advance one CELDT level per year.

WAIVER:

I, _____________________________, as the parent/legal guardian of the child named above, have been

provided with a full description of the educational program options available at CNUSD.

I request a waiver of the requirement that my child be placed in a classroom in which instruction is

overwhelmingly in English. I request, instead, that my child be placed in a classroom with primary language

instruction, in which both English and Spanish instruction, textbooks and teaching materials will be used.

Reason for waiver request (to be confirmed by school district):

_____ My child already knows English (to be confirmed by standardized tests of English vocabulary

comprehension, reading and writing, at or above state average grade level, not to exceed 5th

grade level).

_____ My child is at least 10 years old (District must determine that the child’s rapid acquisition of basic

English language skills will be better achieved through an alternative program).

_____ My child has special needs (District must determine that the child’s physical, emotional, psychological,

or educational needs will be better served through an alternative program.) I understand that I am not required

to consent to a waiver because of these special needs.

I understand that this waiver applies only to the school year listed above and I must request a waiver on

an annual basis for the waiver to continue.

OPCIÓN 4: Programa Alternativo – Programa de Inmersión en Dos Idiomas Esta opción se ofrece a estudiantes que se encuentran a los niveles 1, 2, 3, 4 y 5 de la prueba CELDT.

Los estudiantes deben ingresar en este programa en el kindergarten para poder ser elegibles para participar.

La meta en este programa es desarrollar la habilidad de hablar el español y el inglés a un nivel avanzado

(bilingüismo) y desarrollar una base académica firme en ambos idiomas (leer y escribir en español y en inglés). La

instrucción es en español y los materiales están en español en los primeros grados de primaria y se enseñan algunas

materias básicas en inglés. La expectativa es que los estudiantes avancen un nivel en la prueba CELDT cada año.

LA SOLICITUD DE EXCEPCIÓN:

A mi, _____________________________, padre(tutor legal) del(de la) niño(niña) nombrado más arriba, me han

proporcionado una descripción completa de las opciones del programa educacional que ofrece el Distrito Escolar Unificado de

Corona y Norco.

Yo solicito una excepción al requisito de que mi hijo(hija) sea asignado(da) a un salón de clases en el cual la instrucción se

imparte totalmente en inglés. Yo pido, en vez, que mi hijo(hija) sea asignado(da) a un salón de clases donde reciba instrucción

en su lengua materna y donde los libros de texto, los materiales y la instrucción sean en ambos idiomas, ingles y español.

Motivo por el cual se solicita la excepción (pendiente la confirmación del distrito escolar):

Mi hijo(hija) ya tiene conocimientos del inglés (pendiente la confirmación mediante los resultados de los exámenes

normativos de vocabulario, lectura y escritura en inglés, que muestren que está al nivel o por encima del nivel estatal promedio

del año que cursa, sin exceder el nivel de quinto año de primaria).

Mi hijo(hija) tiene, por lo menos, 10 años de edad (el Distrito debe determinar que la rápida adquisición del(de la)

niño(niña) de los conocimientos del idioma inglés se logrará mejor mediante un programa alternativo).

Mi hijo(hija) tiene necesidades especiales (el distrito debe determinar que las necesidades físicas, emocionales,

psicológicas, o educacionales del(de la) niño(niña) se satisfarán mejor mediante un programa alternativo). Entiendo que yo no

estoy obligado a dar mi consentimiento para que se haga una excepción sólo por causa de estas necesidades especiales.

Entiendo que esta excepción se aplica únicamente al año escolar indicado más arriba y que debo renovar la solicitud

para la excepción anualmente para que siga siendo vigente.

CATCH-UP PLAN MONITORING

The Corona-Norco Unified School District has a high expectation for its English Learners.

As demonstrated in the previous pages, we expect all English Learners to grow a minimum

of one CELDT level per year and we expect progress according to their CELDT level. We

believe that English Learners have a great deal of potential and have the ability to succeed in

spite of their need to learn a second language.

In order to assist English Learners in their success towards reclassification and ultimate

educational success, we have monitoring in place. This monitoring includes, but is not

limited to, having an English Learner Contact at each site, providing EL Data Rosters to the

individual teachers for each of their classes, providing ongoing staff development to

teachers, aides and administrators, holding ELAC and DELAC meetings to inform parents

of their student’s progress, etc. In addition, site personnel are knowledgeable in

implementing interventions which are appropriate to the individual student needs.

Programs such as the PASA program allow English Learners who are falling behind to get

the extra support they need in order to be successful.

The largest group of English Learners that need the extra support are those that are at the

intermediate level and seem to be “stuck” at that level. Schools are asked to focus on these

students in order to support their continued growth. Although the sites are given autonomy

in implementing their intervention plan, all sites are required to submit their proposals to the

Director of Curriculum and Instruction in charge of English Learners for approval. Upon

approval, they are allowed to use site EIA and ELAP funds to support the students’

interventions. The sites are to submit a Categorical Request Form indicating how their

English Learners will benefit from such interventions, as well as where that intervention is

indicated in their school plan.

Intervention Block the following may be included: 1. Guided Reading (Spanish for grades K, 1, and 2; English for grade 3) 2. Retelling and summarizing (Spanish for grades K, 1, and 2; English for grade 3) 3. Services by the Reading Specialist (Spanish for grades K, 1, and 2; English for grade 3)

** During the transition process from Spanish Instruction to English Instruction in grade 2, Math is taught for Trimester 1 in Spanish. During Trimester 2, the students will receive the instruction of math concepts in Spanish (the main part of the lesson). Vocabulary will be introduced in Spanish during this trimester and then followed up with the English vocabulary for the same concept. Computation in Math during Trimester 2 will be done in English. Trimester 3 in Math will be done in English with Spanish support.
