Instructional Design for EL Students in OUSD- EL Master Plan
** Oakland Unified School District, English Learner Master Plan: Essential Elements, Fall 2007. Not available online.
This is an abbreviated, user-friendly version of the revised OUSD Master Plan for English Language Programs and Services. This document was prepared to provide the schools and the district with a “procedures manual” for the development, implementation, and evaluation of English Learner programs and services. It also provides a detailed description of required policies and practices. The Essential Elements are organized around seven key questions: a) How are English Learners identified and assessed? How are they reclassified? b) Which English Learner program models are offered by Oakland Unified? c) What instructional services are required? d) How can we ensure that teachers are well-qualified to teach ELs? e) How do we know that our programs are working? f) How can we ensure that parents and families are meaningful partners in their children’s education? g) How may we use our general and categorical funds to benefit English Learners?
