The BMEB monitors and evaluates districts and schools in two ways. On-site visits are conducted to assess how districts and schools monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of their own EL program and services, including the use of Title III supplemental program funding. This process includes document review of student cumulative files (including parent notification, parent engagement, evidence of program), lesson plans and other artifacts and documents. Further, during on-site TAFM visits, program directors, principals, and/or parents may be interviewed regarding the district/school’s programs.
Additionally, desktop monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of district and school EL program and services is also conducted through a review of the following data sources:
District/school data as reported in STARS
English language proficiency data from the WIDA ACCESS for ELLs©
Fiscal documentation from OBMS, BARs, and RfRs
If applicable, documented concerns of parents, community, and others, including complaints from the OCR.
