Chapter 6
This chapter begins with an overview of evaluation and accountability, then describes the specific district goals for English Learners and the evaluation questions. Specific assessments and methods are then referenced for each goal. The chapter concludes with a detailed description of the responsibilities of involved individuals and groups, in order to make clear their roles in English Learner accountability. Accountability work is everyone’s responsibility.
This includes students, parents and all personnel at the school and district levels—teachers, counselors, Instructional Assistants and administrators.
Rather than considering evaluation as a specific event (or an annual report), we consider it to be part of our daily work. We are all accountable for ensuring that programs are optimally effective. All district personnel are required to follow the procedures specified in this Master Plan. Staff members who find ways to improve on these practices are encouraged to bring possible modifications to the attention of their immediate supervisors for approval, in order to ensure that any such modifications meet the standards set by our local governing board and that they are consistent with state and federal law.
