ELL Success Coaches Training

At the beginning of each school year, all LYSD sites will identify an English Language Learner Success Coach. The main role of the ELL Success Coach is to provide supplemental instructional activities for ELL students based on their grade needs and ACCESS data. ELL Success Coaches will also insure ELL students receive resources, notifications, and parent/guardian outreach. ELL Success Coaches will organize and host four Family Nights per school year. The following are additional considerations and information:

• Elementary and Middle School instruction will be focused on literacy and mathematics using district-based curriculum and interventions (i.e. iReady Math, Lexia, STEM).
• High School instruction will focus on credit accrual and graduation priorities.
• Resources will be allocated based on the ELL enrollment.
• Time and Effort will be based on ELL enrollment.
• Attendance, Pre/Post data, Family Nights, and Record of Work will all be tracked for evidence of compliance.
• Target/Goal is 20% of enrolled EL students participating in tutoring. Additional EL students beyond the 20% target/goal is encouraged.
• Complete End-of-Year reports (i.e. post data entry - iReady, Lexia, credit accrual)

The purpose and intent of EL Federal Funds are to help ensure that English Learners:

• Attain English proficiency and develop high levels of academic achievement in English.
