Summary:
|
A new English Language Development (ELD) course titled “Academic Guidance for College and Career Success” is being submitted for Board approval.
Academic Guidance for College and Career Success (AGCCS) is the title for a course that has been developed for Newcomer English Learners. The U.S. Department of Education defines the term “newcomers” as referring to any foreign-born students and their families who have recently arrived in the United States.
Newcomer English Learners arrive to middle school and/or high school with significant language barriers and need guided support to succeed in their classes. This course, AGCCS, will allow students to get support from the English Learner (EL) Teacher Lead, College Tutors, and highly qualified teachers to continue improving on the ELD standards, specifically as they pertain to Math, Science, and History. Students will learn organizational study strategies to be able to become college and career ready. This course will be limited to English Learner Newcomers as defined as having less than two (2) years of schooling in the United States upon the time of enrollment. Students will be concurrently enrolled in Academic English I or Academic English II based on the district English Learner Placement Matrix.
The District's English Learner Subject Area Council (SAC) has approved the new Academic Guidance for College and Career Success course, and the course has been approved by the Director of Curriculum and Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services.
