Assessment and Accountability/State and Federal Network Meeting Steering Committee
During our last meeting we asked if anyone would like to be part of the steering committee that helps plan these meetings and gives some guidance to the content. The commitment is not huge. We'd like to get on a Zoom call once a month to check in and review the topics for any upcoming meetings. If you are interested in being part of the steering committee, please email Chris Izor at cizor@sccoe.org.

Public Comment Period Open for New World Languages Framework
The draft of the 2020 World Languages Framework for California Public Schools, Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve is now open for review and public comment, an important step for California to lead the way for comprehensive world languages education for all students. This framework provides guidance and support for instructional approaches intended to bring about optimal performance among students in world languages classrooms.
The new World Languages Framework is aligned with the most current documents that inform language and culture teaching communities. The framework is based on the innovative 2019 World Languages Standards for California Public Schools, Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve. The World Languages Standards and World Languages Framework can help schools bolster opportunities for all students through access to high-quality, well-articulated world languages programs.
The public will have until December 1, 2019, to review the draft World Languages Framework on the World Languages Framework web page. Comments may be submitted using the online survey or via email to WorldLanguage@cde.ca.gov. The public comments will be presented to the Instructional Quality Commission for review and possible inclusion into the final World Languages Framework in the spring of 2020.
Help Design New Statewide Professional Learning Programs
Help Design New Statewide Professional Learning Programs
Two new statewide professional learning programs were established by the 2019 State Budget. The 21st Century California School Leadership Academy (21CSLA) will provide high-quality professional learning to principals and other school leaders. The Educator Workforce Investment Grant (EWIG) will provide teachers and paraprofessionals high-quality professional learning opportunities in computer science; special education; positive school climate, including social-emotional learning and restorative justice; and the English Learner Roadmap.
The California Department of Education and the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence are establishing a process to select providers of these professional learning opportunities and are seeking input from interested stakeholders regarding critical areas for professional learning, preferred structures, and solutions to common barriers to participation in professional learning.
Please ensure your voice is heard by participating in stakeholder surveys for both programs:
Both surveys will close on October 25.
Please visit the 21CSLA web page for more information. If you would like to be notified when new information becomes available, please join the 21CSLA listserv by sending a blank email message to join-21csla@mlist.cde.ca.gov.
Please visit the EWIG web page for more information. If you would like to be notified when new information becomes available, please join the EWIG listserv by sending a blank email message to join-ewig@mlist.cde.ca.gov.

*NOTE: Hamilton leaves the Bay Area in January
The Hamilton Education Program provides tens of thousands of high school students in Title I schools with the opportunity to engage in an innovative curriculum about the Founding Era and attend the musical Hamilton.
This national initiative features:
- A teacher-led curriculum that is grounded in original historic documents about the Founding Era
- A dedicated website that includes interviews with Lin-Manuel Miranda and other Hamilton cast members, an extensive collection of primary source documents, and interactive features aimed at exploring the life and times of Alexander Hamilton and the Founding Era
- A project that requires students to create original songs, poems, and dramatic scenes inspired by their analysis of primary source materials and lyrics from the musical
- A full-day experience for students and teachers that features student performances, a Q&A session with the Hamilton cast, and attendance at a Hamilton matinee
- An evaluation that measures the program’s impact on student learning
- A membership in the Institute’s Affiliate School Program which provides free American history resources, programs, and professional development

Celebrate LGBTQ History Month With These Resources
From Teaching Tolerance: LGBTQ history is American history, and all of our students deserve to know that. This October, we hope you’ll join us in celebrating LGBTQ History Month. Here are a few of our favorite resources for learning and teaching about the contributions of LGBTQ people, including lessons, posters, articles and our podcast, Queer America, devoted exclusively to recovering this understudied history.
Local Dashboard Indicators Deadline is November 1
Reminder: The deadline for submission of the local indicators to the Dashboard is November 1, 2019. LEAs that do not complete and upload the local indicators by November 1 will default to Not Met (or Not Met for Two or More Years if this is the second straight year of not uploading the local indicators).
Prior to submitting the local indicators to the Dashboard LEAs must report the results at a regularly scheduled public meeting of the local governing board. As a best practice for stakeholder engagement, LEA’s are encouraged to provide the local indicator information to the governing board as an agenda item for public comment rather than as a consent item on the agenda.
CDE hosted a Tuesday @ 2 Webinar reading the Local Indicators on September 24th. The presentation was not posted but a recording of the presentation can be hound here. For complete details of the local indicators’ prompts and reflection tools and narratives, please see the data collection sheet below.

Computer-based Summative ELPAC Training Tests and DFAs Are Here
The Practice and Training Test Resources web page on the ELPAC website contains links to the training tests and Training Test Directions for Administration (DFAs) that will help LEAs, test examiners, and students become familiar with the new computer-based platform for the Summative ELPAC that launches in February 2020.
The computer-based ELPAC training test gives students, parents/guardians and families, teachers, administrators, and other stakeholders an opportunity to become familiar with the computer-based ELPAC. The training tests provide information about:
- the types of test questions,
- how the questions are presented to students, and
- how students will navigate the computer-based platform and provide responses to test questions.
Please note: The training test will not include answer keys; practice tests will be available in November 2019.
The computer-based ELPAC Training Test DFAs provide instructions and scripts for administering the online training tests.
