Since 2024 (SB 141), long-term English learners (LTELs) are their own student group on the California School Dashboard, and LCAPs must include actions for English learners and LTELs. Under AB 2555, reclassification now depends only on reaching Overall Level 4 on the Summative ELPAC. This kit gives grade 5–8 teachers a ready, age-respectful designated ELD action: bilingual students sharpening academic English through short, original texts about California.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's inside (34 pages)\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeacher guide: a 30-minute daily routine (vocabulary, text, talk, language-in-context, write) and an 8-week plan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 weekly units on California topics: drought and water, the Gold Rush economy, the San Diego kelp forest food web, the missions from multiple perspectives, solar energy, immigration stories, sleep science and Kumeyaay land stewardship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach unit: an original 200–230 word informational text with 6 Tier 2 words, morphology notes and Spanish cognates; a How English Works lesson with practice; a structured academic conversation card with Emerging, Expanding and Bridging frames and a written response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudent goal-setting page and Level 4 self-check (practice in the style of ELPAC task types; not official ELPAC materials)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgress tracker with writing rubric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudent conference guide for teachers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily letter in English and Spanish explaining AB 2555 reclassification and 4-year monitoring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnswer key with sample responses, and a standards map\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003csection data-csc-standards=\"ca-v1\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCalifornia standards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2012 California ELD Standards and CA CCSS for ELA\/Literacy.
