    Course Description - The ELA ESOL course provides students with direct instruction in the
    vocabulary and usage of the English language. The goal of the ESOL program is for our students
    with a home language other than English to become proficient in four domains of the language.
    The domains we address are reading, writing, speaking, and listening. The ESOL teacher works
    in collaboration with the ELA teacher to address these domains in daily English language arts
    instruction.

    Curriculum Overview
    The following academic concepts will be covered. THIS IS ONLY A GUIDE AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

    GRADING SYSTEM: The DeKalb County School District believes that the most important assessment
    of student learning shall be conducted by the teachers as they observe and evaluate students in
    the context of ongoing classroom instruction. A variety of approaches, methodologies, and
    resources shall be used to deliver educational services and to maximize each student’s
    opportunity to succeed. Teachers shall evaluate student progress, report grades that represent
    the student’s academic achievement, and communicate official academic progress to students and
    parents in a timely manner through the electronic grading portal. See Board Policy IHA.

    GRADING CATEGORIES *GRADE PROTOCOL


    A 90 – 100 ~P (pass)
    Formative and Diagnostic Assessments – 0%

    Classwork (Guided, Independent, and Group Practice) – 45%
    C 71 – 79

    Notes:
    *English Learners (ELs) must not receive numerical or letter grades for the core content areas in
    elementary and middle school during their first year of language development. A grade of CS or
    CU must be assigned. This rule may be extended beyond the first year with approval from the EL
    Studies Program. English Learners must receive a grade for ESOL courses.
