DESCRIPTION
Network participants reviewed district and site-level data to identify strengths and gaps in the quality of assessments. This allowed participants to ensure existing assessments provide valid and reliable data needed to diagnose student needs and monitor progress. Districts will address data findings with action oriented steps to identify priorities or an identified problem of practice. With the rollout of the English Learner Proficiency Assessment for California (ELPAC) and English Learner Progress Indicator (ELPI), the PLN will also examined assessment practices and progress monitoring of EL students. Ultimately, the purpose of the PLN will be driven by the need to decrease the gap in student achievement through the expansion of formative and summative assessment data review practices, at the district, school and classroom levels.

DESCRIPTION
The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) Toolkit: Using research-based tools to promote equity for English Learners (LCAP Toolkit) is a resource for educators, families, and community members to ensure that the LCAP—the state’s public accountability mechanism— reflects how actions, services, programs, and resources are made visible to ensure equitable opportunities and outcomes for English Learners. The LCAP Toolkit consists of four parts that can be used together or independently. Part I presents information pertaining to policy, background, and LCAP Toolkit development. Part II introduces the English Learner Research-Aligned LCAP Rubrics. Part III offers four additional resources and tools that support the applied use of the rubrics by engaging EL-focused networks in developing, analyzing, and refining LCAP plans. Part IV appendices include references and resources.

DESCRIPTION
By September 30, districts are responsible for gaining stakeholder input and developing a Learning Continuity and Attendance Plan (LCP) for the 2020-21 school year that addresses the needs of all pupils regarding the impacts of COVID-19, with specific attention to English Learners and increasing or improving EL services. What might a powerful LCP look like for English Learners, that heeds research and builds upon learning from experiences with distance learning last spring and creates deeper partnerships with families? What should educators and communities be thinking about and considering in planning to ensure English Learners are able to recoup learning loss and are not left further behind?
Californians Together staff will present the findings and recommendations from a review of COVID-19 Operations Written Reports. Dr. Laurie Olson will present and share a planning tool to align the LCP with the English Learner Roadmap, emphasizing the opportunities for parent engagement.
Learn about the Community Engagement Initiative and how to join Cohort II of our Peer Leading and Learning Networks. Attendees will also learn how to tap into resources and tools developed by Californians Together to support LEAs in developing more inclusive Learning Continuity and Attendance Plans.
