Department CPR Finding: A review of student records indicates that the district does not consistently
complete all required assessments. The educational assessment by a representative of the school
district does not include a history of the student’s educational progress in the general curriculum.
Narrative Description of Corrective Action: The district will train special education professional
staff on the requirement to complete all required assessments – specifically, that the educational
assessment including a history of student’s progress in the general curriculum needs to be completed
by a representative of the school district. This training will occur during building-based special
education staff meetings in September, 2010. The district will then monitor implementation
throughout the year as paperwork is submitted from the buildings to the Special Education Office for
filing in the student record. Additionally, the district will randomly select several records of students in
February, 2011 to more formally review in order to determine compliance.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN

Criterion & Topic: ELE 5 Program Placement and
Rating: Partially Implemented
Structure
Department CPR Finding: Sheltered English immersion (SEI) is a program model for limited English
proficient (LEP) students composed of two parts—English as a second language (ESL) and sheltered
content instruction. ESL is explicit, direct instruction about the English language, delivered to LEP
students only and designed to promote the English language development of LEP students. Sheltered
content instruction is an approach for teaching content to LEP students in strategic ways that make the
subject matter concepts comprehensible while promoting the LEP students’ English language
development.
Although there is an ESL curriculum in place, there is no specific curriculum map provided or other
documentation to indicate that the district has aligned its ESL curriculum with the Massachusetts
English Language Proficiency Benchmarks and Outcomes (ELPBO).
According to district documents, LEP students are receiving content instruction by teachers who have
not completed any of the four Categories of professional development. While documentation submitted
by the school district indicates goals for training 1-3 teachers for the 2010-2011 school year, and that
the district has provided some training to ESL tutors, speech pathologists and remedial reading
teachers, the Department is concerned that the number of classroom teachers is not sufficient to ensure
that teachers of LEP students are qualified to shelter content.
9
Narrative Description of Corrective Action: The ELPBO standards of Speaking, Listening, Writing
and Reading will be cross-referenced with the ESL curriculum. The ESL tutor will use the content
based ESL Curriculum map for each of our ELL students. The student profiles will connect to student
learning outcomes and will reflect “big picture” student goals. The student learning outcomes from the
scope and sequence tool include Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing. There will be planned
assessments/and student work products which will measure the student attainment of learning goals.
These will be included in our ELL student folders.
As a low incident district training will continue in each of the four categories for at least one teacher in
each grade level. So far for the 2010-2011 school year in Kingston there are 6 classroom teachers
signed up for Category 1 training in October at the North River Collaborative, there are 2 teachers
signed up for the Category III training offered in district by our QMT in September, and 2 teachers
signed up for Category IV at the North River Collaborative in January. This will provide at least one
classroom teacher in each grade level with category trainings.
Title/Role of Person(s) Responsible for
Expected Date of Completion for Each
Implementation: Assistant Superintendent
Corrective Action Activity: February 2011
Evidence of Completion of the Corrective Action: Use of the content based ESL curriculum map
which will be included in the ELL student folders and additionally trained staff in the four categories.
Description of Internal Monitoring Procedures: Students folders will be reviewed annually and
should include the content-based curriculum map. ELL students will be placed in a classroom with a
teacher who is in process of completing all four category trainings and has completed at least one of the
category trainings. The district will continue to train as many classroom teachers as available with the
initial goal of having at least one teacher trained in all 4 Categories in each grade level.

Status of Corrective Action:
Approved
Partially Approved
Disapproved
Basis for Partial Approval or Disapproval:
The district’s proposed corrective action does not specifically address the following findings:
 The lack of alignment of the district’s ESL curriculum with the ELPBO.
 Insufficient training of teachers providing Sheltered Content Instruction at all levels. The
district’s proposal does not address Category 2.
 ESL/ELD instruction provided by a certified ESL teacher.
Department Order of Corrective Action:
By January 14, 2011;
Provide evidence that ESL/ELD instruction is being provided to all LEP students at all schools by a
certified ESL teacher. Specifically, provide the following:
 Teacher schedules indicating assignments.
 Names of teachers delivering ESL/ELD.
 A list of all LEP students in the district, their MEPA proficiency levels, the numbers of hours
of ESL/ELD instruction that they receive, and the name of the ESL/ELD teacher.
 Five sample schedules from each school in the district supporting the hours of ESL/ELD
instruction that are evidenced on the aforementioned list.
To the extent the documentation above does not demonstrate that LEP students receive sufficient hours
of ESL/ELD instruction, provide a detailed plan that ensures that the district addresses this and is
providing sufficient ESL/ELD to all LEP students before September 1, 2011.
In order to monitor levels of ESL/ELD instruction, assign an individual (either one individual district-
10
wide or one individual at each school) to review the schedules of all LEP students in the district on a
quarterly basis for the following:
 Sufficient levels of ESL/ELD instruction, consistent with Department guidance;
 Delivery of all ESL/ELD by appropriately licensed staff; and
 Placement in classrooms of teachers who have received training in sheltering content, and
levels of training of each teacher.
Provide the name(s) of the individual(s) and the means by which s/he or they will monitor the delivery
of ESL/ELD and sheltered content to all LEP students.
Provide a timeframe for developing an ESL curriculum fully aligned with the Massachusetts ELPBO.
This curriculum should be developed by a certified ESL teacher/s, not only by an ESL tutor.
Revise the SEI PD plan to include Categories 2.
Required Elements of Progress Report(s):
Provide status updates on the following by January 14, 2011:
1) Progress towards aligning the K-12 ESL curriculum with the ELPBO.
2) Evidence of SEI professional development training for the 2010-2011 school year, including the
following:
 Specific training dates.
 Signed attendance sheets.
Also provide the following by the January 14, 2011:
1) Copies of the LEP students’ schedules, including ESL. Indicate, as to each student, the student’s
grade level, and identified level of proficiency.
2) A list of the general/special education classroom teachers with whom LEP students have been
placed, including the initials of LEP students placed with them.
3) Evidence of the first quarterly monitoring of student schedules, as ordered above.
Provide an update on revisions of the SEI PD plan to include Category 2.
By March 18, 2011, provide the following:
1) The K-12 ESL curriculum completely aligned with the ELPBO.
2) Evidence of SEI professional development training for the 2010-2011 school year, including the
following:
 Specific training dates.
 Signed attendance sheets.
3) Evidence of the most recent quarterly monitoring of student schedules, as ordered above. Provide a
description of actions taken to remedy any non-compliance.

Rating: Partially Implemented
Department CPR Finding: A review of the documentation indicates that classroom teachers are not
sufficiently trained in sheltering content instruction as teachers have not completed all of the required
categories of SEI professional development focused on the skills and knowledge necessary for
sheltering instruction. Therefore, students with limited English proficiency are not taught to the same
academic standards and curriculum as all students, and are not provided with the same opportunities
to master such standards as other students.

at least one teacher in each grade level. So far for the 2010-2011 school year in Kingston there are 6
