NEW FOR FAMILIES: STARTING SMARTER WEBSITE

The California Department of Education (CDE), in collaboration with the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium and Educational Testing Service, launched a new website to help empower parents/guardians and families to become partners in their children's academic success.

This family-focused website provides resources to facilitate parents'/guardians' understanding of the scores presented on their child's Student Score Reports. Using this website, families can become involved in their child's educational progress and:

  • Learn more about the performance areas in each subject and grade.
  • See sample test questions.
  • Prepare for parent-teacher conferences with a useful downloadable guide.

ELAC / DELAC

The California Legislature is committed to assuring that parents and guardians of English learners have a voice in the education of their children. This belief is reflected in the passage of specific California Education Code and California Code or Regulation sections requiring English Learner Advisory Committees (ELAC) and District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC) in schools and districts that educate English learners.

EL COORDINATORS

Each school site has a designated English Learner (EL) Coordinator who works with students whose primary language is other than English. The EL Coordinator is responsible for testing English language proficiency. The EL program has been designed to be educationally strong by building a broad base, which maintains the self-image of the learner.
