English Learners

Beginning with the 2019-20 administration, the Summative English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) will be delivered via a computer-based test delivery platform. The computer-based ELPAC practice and training tests allow students, parents/guardians, families, teachers, administrators, and others an opportunity to become familiar with the computer-based test delivery platform as well as the types of test questions that may appear on the actual test at each grade or grade span.

EL Master Plan

Please take time to review the Dry Creek JESD EL Master Plan.  The plan was presented, reviewed and adopted in November, 2020 by the Board of Trustees.

EL Master Plan

Title III

Title III is officially known as the Language Instruction for English Learner and Immigrant Students Act. Section 3102 lists the purpose of the law. The overarching purpose is to ensure that English learner (EL) students, including immigrant children and youth, attain English language proficiency (ELP) and meet the same challenging state academic standards that other students are expected to meet.

LEAs must use Title III funds to supplement state language instruction educational programs, designed to assist EL students’ achievement goals. The state educational agency (SEA), LEAs, and schools are accountable for increasing the ELP and core academic content knowledge of EL students.
