Maintenance Bilingual Education Program and Dual Language Program (English Learners) The curriculum, instruction, and assessment in the Maintenance Bilingual Education (MBE) program are designed for English Learners whose parents were granted a waiver from SEI to an alternate instructional program. In the Dual Language Program (DLP), curriculum, instruction and assessment are designed for both English Learners and English proficient students who are mixed in the classroom. In both the MBE and the DLP students receive instruction in two languages beginning in kindergarten. a. Designated English Language Development English Learners in MBE and DLP receive daily standards-based ELD lessons to ensure they acquire advanced levels of academic English proficiency. ELD achievement and effort scores reflect the student’s current performance of CA ELD standards in Part I: Interacting in Meaningful Ways and Part II: How English Works. In addition to progress scores, teachers are expected to use the ELD Teacher Comments section of the progress report to inform parents of their child’s overall ELD progress, as measured against the number of years s/he has been enrolled in a Master Plan program. b. English Language Arts English Learners in MBE and DLP receive daily standards-based instruction in English Language Arts. Lessons are designed using the CA English Language Arts Standards including CA ELD Standards and delivered using Integrated ELD instructional methods (see ELA/ELD Framework). English Learners in MBE and DLP receive achievement and effort scores that indicate the student’s performance of grade level English Language Arts standards in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. c. Target Language Arts English Learners in MBE and DLP receive daily standards-based instruction in Target Language Arts (Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, Armenian, or Arabic). Achievement and effort scores indicate the student’s performance of grade level Target Language Arts standards in reading, writing, listening and speaking. d. All Other Subject Areas English Learners in MBE and DLP receive standards-based lessons in other content areas, such as Math, History/Social Sciences, Science, and Arts in both English and the Target Language. Content instruction is delivered using special methods, including Integrated ELD, second language learning strategies, and primary language instruction support. Achievement and effort scores for other subject areas must indicate the academic performance of gradelevel CA Content standards, regardless of the language of instruction.
