ELSSA
►Why?

Our ELSSA report aims to:

  • Help Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) analyze and address program services in preparing for their LEA Plan Addendum.
  • Help LEAs attain academic standards for the English Learner (EL) subgroup.
  • Help LEAs develop a program that meets English language proficiency objectives.
►What?

While the English Learner Subgroup Self Assessment (ELSSA) is intended to be used by Program Improvement districts as part of Title III accountability, many schools and districts exceeding Title III requirements find our ELSSA report to be invaluable in staying ahead of the game with their EL subgroup. With the intervention lists that we provide with our ELSSA report, you can put names to the numbers; school sites and districts can target EL students and place them into the appropriate interventions, whether the intervention should be more ELD based, or academic based.

►How?

In our experience, English Learner data is typically very complex and can be extremely difficult for our clients to aggregate. Our ELSSA Reports are created by analyzing your unique CELDT and enrollment data:

  • You provide us with your CELDT data files and a current enrollment file.
  • We merge the multiple files together and report out all of the data pieces necessary to answer the questions posed in the ELSSA.
  • We provide intervention lists, by school, of students who are at 'Advanced' or 'Early Advanced' on CELDT, but 'Below Basic' or 'Far Below Basic' on the California Standards Test (CST) enable districts to see which of their English Learners are progressing towards mastery of the English language, yet still performing at low levels on the CSTs.

ELSSA reports from Key Data Systems help to answer questions about a school's EL population.
