are eligible to be considered for reclassification, in conjunction with the other three locally determined required reclassification criteria.
Criterion 2: Teacher Evaluation Teacher evaluation, including a review of the pupil's curriculum mastery, remains locally determined. Teacher evaluation is not to be interpreted as teacher opinion and should be based on data as well as the LEA’s locally established process for soliciting teacher evaluation. The CDE is in the process of developing a standardized resource for this criterion. The Observation Protocol for Teachers of English Learners (OPTEL) is an observation protocol currently under development to meet the requirements of EC Section 313.3 Criterion 3: Parent Consultation This criterion remains locally determined. LEAs can consult with families of all students who are being considered for reclassification in-person, by phone, school platforms, or other available technology to discuss eligibility for reclassification. These criteria will be replaced with the Observation Protocol Teacher of English Learners Matrix effective Fall 2024. Criterion 4: Basic Skills Relative to English Proficient Students Comparison of EL performance to performance of native English speakers of the same age in basic skills remains locally determined. Demonstrates whether the pupil is sufficiently proficient in English to participate effectively in a curriculum designed for pupils of the same age whose native language is English, EC Section 313(f)(4). The LEA establishes the empirical range of performance in basic skills when setting the criteria for reclassification and considers the overall achievement goals set for all students. Reclassification of English Learners Reclassification will take place in the Ellevation learning platform. Ellevation is a partner to school district administrators, teachers, and students across the United States, used to manage complex program requirements, build the capacity of teachers to serve multilingual learners, and empower students with the academic language necessary for success in school. Ellevation is an EL program management program that meets compliance requirements and impacts instruction in every classroom. Through Ellevation, teachers will monitor their current English Learners in the four domains of the ELPAC exam providing data to be used for potential reclassification. Teachers will receive a form, generated by Ellevation when a student meets the reclassification criteria during the Fall or Winter reclassification window.
