goals? comprehensive curriculum of high‐quality content such as science, social science and the arts, OUSD is committed to
providing essential elements of effective practice that will need to be incorporated into an English Learners' schooling
experience. These practices are more access and equity in all courses, effective practices (Hattie, 2006) that will yield high
levels of student achievement, and a deeper understanding of the sociocultural and language demands that are unique for
English Learners. Professional development, support and resources will continued to be provided to staff, especially focused
on core content area teachers.

Based on teachers' feedback at ELD trainings, English Learner Services Department will continue to roll out professional
development on the ELA/ELD framework next school year. Instructional specialists will continue to provide school site
support while the Director and Coordinator will visit schools and monitor student progress to ensure English Learners are
showing growth throughout the year and being taught using research based strategies such as GLAD during designated and
integrated ELD. Instructional planning and support to principals will be included during the school site visits.

Outcomes:
Across the district, teachers participated in designing and launching real‐
world, 21st century STEM/STEAM lessons. OUSD increased access to
more science courses, demonstrations and competitions that will exhibit
the highest levels of student discovery and innovation in STEM/STEAM
related activities.

At the secondary level, students began to participate in numerous STEAM
related activities that have developed their connection to the arts and
sciences. In addition, students were provided increased access to CTE
courses, core science courses, graphic designs and integrated technology.
Teachers were provided opportunities for students to engage in inquiry
based science lessons and project‐based learning.
