Section 24:55:05:09 - Calculation of student-level English language proficiency progress goal and targets
Current through Register Vol. 51, page 43, September 23, 2024
The department shall calculate student-level English language proficiency yearly targets for each English learner as follows:
(1) Based on the students first score on the English language proficiency assessment, the department shall determine after how many additional years the student should meet the goal of proficiency on the assessment;
(2) Subtract the students first score from the proficiency goal to determine the progress the student must make to realize the goal in the prescribed time frame;
(3) Divide the amount by the years the student is allotted, based on the goal set out in 24:55:05:08, rounding to the nearest tenth. This is the students annual target for increasing proficiency at the necessary rate to reach the proficiency level within the prescribed time frame.
An example of this calculation is illustrated in Appendix D at the end of this chapter.
