Edit Mission Statement Program Evaluation

We believe in creating an equitable environmentthat supports and fosters success for all Bilingualstudents. We are committed to facilitating thecultural and linguistic development they need toachieve overall fluency and success throughregular assessments. Data from theseassessments will drive our instruction.

Our program will be evaluated through student progress reflected in our data. Our data originates from Access 2.0, EOC's, Pivot, State­mandated standardized testing, growth reflected on pre­ and post­assessment of the AVANT Spanish language proficiency assessment, andacquisition of the number of bilingual seals at graduation. We will know our methods are effective due to the rising of proficiency levels. Datadrives our teaching methods and school­wide curriculum both in the mainstreamed classes as well as TESOL­aligned classrooms. Allteachers and administration will analyze the data and it will be disseminated to the staff. Teachers will work together to create curriculum thattargets weaknesses and builds on strengths. The annual progress report will be shared with stakeholders and board members as part of theprogram evaluation process as well.

Add Mission Statement

Students

Effective schools meet the needs of all their students and develop anequitable program that sparks connectivity and multiculturalism. Wehave a large population of students who have cultural and linguisticneeds and having a BMEP will meet those specific needs.The visionand goal of a BMEP program is shared by staff and administration andthis program produces student academic and life achievement. Our ELpopulation breakdown suggests that students need enriched, balancedcurriculum in order to help them develop and prosper. Studies showthat most students who participate in a heritage language programshow increased achievement in reading, math, have higher grade pointaverages, have an overall greater sense of self, and will more thanlikely complete high school. By creating an effective BMEP program,we will give our students a sense of connectedness and purpose. In aculture that is proving the need for dual language knowledge andsuccess, it's our duty to provide bilingual and multicultural education forour students. By providing heritage language education, we are givingall students an opportunity to not only connect to their heritages but toconnect to others and develop an overall appreciation of diversity. Ouracademic culture is global and we need to accommodate the variousneeds of all our students.

Our BEP's come into our school with ambitions, strengths, and struggles like any otherstudent and it's up to our staff to develop enriched curriculum that is aligned with statestandards to demonstrate overall student achievement. We must ensure a sense ofcommunity and highly involve their parents in decision­making of the educational process sowe have instituted a Bilingual PAC to maintain that connection. The majority of the school'sbilingual population comes from Spanish­speaking homes. The majority of our BMEP's haveparents who have not exceeded a secondary education so they may feel that they aren't ableto contribute to their children's educational lives. In order to fortify our partnership, we needto continue to develop a welcoming environment that exhibits appreciation for bilingual aswell as biliterary curriculum. Our population has a strong, familial bond and family comes firstand as a closely­knit staff, we understand the importance of family. Parents are willing to helpwith their children's achievement and we succeed because of them and we are able tocommunicate with them during our Bilingual PAC meetings as well as Parent/Teacherconferences, weekly emails, and phone calls. Our EL population is classified as: 14% areentering level, 17% emerging, 58% are developing, and 11% are expanding. 10% of ourSpanish speakers showed proficiency when testing Avant, while the rest of this specificpopulation has an average score of 3.21 overall according to Avant parameters. In order tomonitor BMEP students, the district/school uses Access 2.0, WIDA Screener, Avant, EOC's,Pivot 3, 4, 6, and 9 weeks assessments, PARCC, writing samples, informal assessments,Alpine and Skyward data.

The CMS BMEP is open to allCMS students at each of thefive program sites, but due tolimited funding, space, andpersonnel, a weightedapplication process is used toprioritize BMEP participationin accordance with the NewMexico Bilingual MulticulturalAct. (Please see the BMEPApplication Questionnaire in"Uploaded Documents"section.) As Teachers planinstruction to develop both L1and L2 proficience as well asacademic content proficiency,differentiated learning andscaffolding are planned tosupport individualizedlearning needs to ensureequal access to thecurriculum.

Instruction & Strategies

Edit Teaching Strategies Standards

CHSFA has a Principal's 90­day Plan that emphasizes a strategic, thorough plan on training teachers with modern as well and tried­and­true teaching strategies. We

highly emphasize Tier 1 Interventions throughout all courses and curriculums, and we modify our teaching in order to implement those stratagems. They are as

follows: sheltered instruction (language and content integration), cooperative learning activities, flexible grouping, Whole Brain teaching, cross­curricular, scaffolding,

and Tier 1 Interventions. Standards used in lesson plans are: WIDA Standards and Common Core (SLA included) standards. Our school staff is knowledgeable and

dedicated to modifying and adjusting our teaching to fit student needs. Teachers regularly model the type of work they want to see and thus engage their students in

academic conversations, vocabulary building, scaffolding language skills, differentiated instruction, DynEd, graphic organizers, Tier 1 interventions, Google Classroom

and all technology­based academic programs, Word Walls, anchor charts, sentence stems, sentence builders, cooperative learning, cross­curricular, Jane Schaffer

writing program, and character­building activities (Capturing Kids' Hearts and Boys Town).

Dr. Sharroky Hollie emphasizes that, “Culturally responsive teaching is when schools validate and affirm the indigenous culture and home languages of a student for

the purpose of building and bridging the student to success in the culture of academia and mainstream society.” Through his VABB philosophy (Validate, Affirm,

Bridge, and Build), educators can create a culture that is conducive to connectivity­ connecting educators with their students and students with their peers. By making

students feel as if they are valued along with their various cultures, we give them the confidence to succeed. The goal of the CHSFA staff is to provide students with

an approachable curriculum that encompasses the varied cultures and history of New Mexico. The staff also needs to engage parents and community stakeholders is

our day­to­day activities through notices, emails, and phone calls. The community is our strength and we can’t succeed without it. On campus, our first goal is for

our staff will maintain the lines of communication by sending letters and notices in the students’ home languages. This is vital in making parents feel connected to

the school and will help develop our unified goals for success. To begin with, teachers will gather information on individual students to ascertain the steps needed to

produce a Culturally Responsive Learning (CLR) classroom. They will also self­assess their own biases on their journeys to create a productive and effective CLR

environment. In the classroom, teachers need to engage students in culturally appropriate activities. Activities include: discussions (that involve their thoughts

processes and peer engagement). Next, discussion activities will help them build relationships and give them an overall appreciation for their diverse backgrounds.

Team building activities that center on New Mexico history and culture will both strengthen their prior knowledge and add to it. Finally, students will greatly bridge

and build their culture knowledge­base by engaging in all kinds of literature and in all mediums. They learn content more effectively when they are emotionally

invested in it. Success begins when we teach all our students cross­cultural skills and teach them about the cultures in which they thrive.

Edit Instructional Materials Additional Programs

Materials our school is currently using are as follows: textbooks,laptops, Google Classroom, dictionaries, translators, novels,short stories, Internet (academic websites) that are aligned tothe Common Core and WIDA Standards. Instructional materialsare selected with a biliteracy focus when at all possible.Materials that are specifically used for our BMEP studentsinclude: Edge textbook, vocabulary board games, grammar andwriting practice books, reading skills textbook, novels, andepics. These materials are for 9th grade only, as this is the onlygrade level served. All instruction aligns with NM CCSS for ELA,SLA, WIDA ELD, WIDA SLD, NM Standards and Benchmarks ­Math

CMS approaches resource allocation at all campuses using anequitable per­pupil formula. With available additional funds, thedistrict is committed to providing specific instructional materialsto fully support SLA instruction and intervention as well as othercontent delivered in Spanish. Additionally, the district alreadyprovides materials and online learning platforms for additionallanguage instruction for English Learners.

All students at our school are offered to be a part of the same programs: Upward Bound, Educational Methodology, Student Council,JNHS, and all offered extracurricular programs. Many of our bilingual students currently participate in our Folkloric Dance Program.We also incoporate parent­child involvement programs: Dia de los Muertos Celebration, Christmas Pageant and Mother's DayCelebration. All our bilingual students have access to any and all extracurricular programs. Bilingual students are currentlyparticipating in several sports, choir, dance, and band. Our mission is to create an environment of support and acceptance where ourstudents will develop their language skills and succeed in school and life. Any problematic situations would probably arise during theorganizational process as administration works with teachers and staff. We need to train teachers and staff to understand that theirexpectations highly influence student achievement and that the BMEP is not a remedial program but one that is equal to alleducational programs and demands rigor in content as well as language standards. By developing a unified vision, we will embodyadvocacy and support. Bilingual students tend to feel excluded or marginalized and through the overall goal and organized program,we hope to help them connect to their school culture and be successful in all of their endeavors.

Edit Courses & Assessment

The school regularly assesses individual student progress in both the home and school languages. In order to monitor BMEP students, the school annually uses Avant to assess students in theirnative language.We ensure that our assessments are aligned to specific language instruction according to each student's proficiency with it. EOC's and Pivot exams are closely aligned with CommonCore standards. In order to monitor BMEP students, the school uses Access 2.0, WIDA Screener, Avante, EOC's, Pivot 3, 4, 6, and 9 weeks assessments, PARCC, writing samples, informalassessments, Alpine and Skyward data. This data allows us to be effective in aligning our curriculm with our mission statement. We closely monitor the strengths and weaknesses of our biliteratestudents and develop data­driven curriculum that builds on their strengths and supplements their weaknesses. We are also committed to pre­assessing our students' Spanish language proficiency atthe beginning of the year in order to provide targeted, differentiated Spanish Language instruction to foster growth in proficiency of our students' heritage language. Currently, we use the AVANTassessment for this pre­ assessment.

Edit Teachers Recruitment and Support

At CHSFA we have two teachers who are TESOL endorsed and one more teacher who is in the process of earning herendorsement. Two teachers are Bilingual­endorsed which allows our BMEP to serve as a 3­hour program by offeringBilingual Math. As the ever­growing need to help our bilingual students increases, so will our staff members who realizethat in order to help all of our students, they need training in sheltered instruction, pedagogy, and standards­basedteaching. Our district strongly encourages our teaching staff to advance their credentials by earning a TESOLendorsement. Our district reimburses teachers for the TESOL courses they take. We have a supportive administration andwould not be able to get things accomplished without them. We have many opportunities for professional development inthe areas of greatest need. On our campus, teachers and administration maintain an open communication with oneanother as we keep our vision clearly in mind. We are working to support ALL staff who provide instruction for students inthe BMEP by offering ongoing, job­embedded professional development in sheltering content and in language acquisition. The district provides mentors for teachers new to the profession and targeted support through assignment of an EnglishLearner Instructional Coach and Domain Element Coaches.

In order to strengthen both recruitment and retention, our district providesa $2,500 stipend for BL­endorsed teachers who are teaching in a bilingualprogram setting. We continuously and aggressively recruitbilingual/biliterate certified staff in New Mexico and across the southwestregion by participating in job fairs and by posting positions on a widevariety of internet­based platforms. Our BMEP Department is activelyworking to create a marketing video to expand understanding of the typesof BMEPs available in Clovis Municipal Schools and to support recruitmentefforts. Also, our district reimburses teachers for TESOL coursework andmaterials.

Our staff fully supports having a BMEP in our school. The entire staff hasparticipated in the district's training "Elevate your EL Instruction" and haveall received professional development on language acquisition, culturalsensitivity, WIDA purpose and standards, and differentiated instruction forELs. Our staff modifies and accommodates their lessons and teaching tosupport our BMEP and even illustrates modifications in daily lesson plans.If any resistance exists, it is due to a lack of understanding of the needs ofbilingual students and a certain level of intimidation that comes withuncertainty in a particular discipline. This staff need is being monitored byadministration. Also, all questions or concerns are being addressedthrough continued professional development and one­on­one assistancefrom administration and TESOL endorsed staff.

Edit Parent, Family and Community Support Administrative Support Parent Notification

Successful schools have parental support. It's the best interest of any school to develop a strongrelationship with parents. We recently administered a BMEP parent survey to learn more about thethoughts and wishes of parents of our bilingual program students. Parents expressed a positive opinionabout having their children participate in bilingual education. They mentioned that the greatest benefits arethe opportunities for better jobs, opportunities for college, being literate in two languages, and as aconsequence will have better futures with more options. The majority of them feel they are supported byschool staff and administration. Only one parent expressed a concern with the BMEP program but did notexplain what that concern was. The problem staff encounters is that its difficult for them to communicatewith only Spanish speaking parents. The majority of our parents' struggle communicating with teachers;however, we are working to remedy that as we have five bilingual staff members who are always availableto help staff communicate with parents. We are in the process of translating literature, letters to home,notices, and posters in Spanish and English in order to promote a more pleasing, welcoming environmentfor parents. The role of our BMEP PAC is to accomplish goals that would specifically best benefit ourbilingual and multicultural students while also keeping in mind the entire culture of the school. Their visionwould be to strengthen the BME population but also keep in mind the various cultures in our school and tohelp us maintain a balance and respect of all students.

We have full support from all stakeholders, including teachers andadministration. Administration knows that the greatest benefit of ourCMS Bilingual education program is to offer all students an opportunityto become biliterate in English and Spanish. All stakeholders need aclear understanding of how valuable an awareness of variouslanguages and cultures can be for our district. Students who earn abilingual seal not only graduate with a honor that can help enter aprestigious college but gives them a defining sense of self. Becausethey know who they are, they can continue the philosophies ofmentorship that can sustain our way of life. Resources are alwaysavailable to meet student needs. There's a great deal of insight andorganization to be considered to have the types of materials that wouldbe benefit all students. The BMEP program is highly advantageous forour district. Our purpose is to prepare students for their lives afterschool. A solid, strong BMEP will do that. We strive to ensure the entireportion of our community is served and their needs are addressed.
