When will the English Language Learners (ELL) Progress Indicator be integrated into the state accountability rating system?
The ELL Progress Indicator will be incorporated in the state accountability ratings system in 2011. It will be evaluated as a separate indicator at the “All Students” level only—meaning this indicator is not evaluated by the three ethnic student groups or by economically disadvantaged student group. See Question 2 above for details on which students are included in the indicator. This indicator will be evaluated under both Alternative Education Accountability (AEA) procedures and standard accountability procedures. See Chapter 18, Preview of 2011 and Beyond of the 2010 Accountability Manual for more details.
