CRE Guidance on Virtual Learning and Meetings

Dedicated ELD is a Consent Decree requirement and a critical lever to accelerate learning. ELD is a core content area and should be delivered synchronously. MLLs may regroup by English proficiency level across grade level bands for remote or in-person Dedicated ELD instruction, as cohorting guidance allows. If MLLs do not regroup by proficiency level, teachers can differentiate for different language levels within the ELD cohort. In all scenarios, students should continue to receive Dedicated ELD instruction, or an approved ELD Alternative (such as ELD/Language Arts Co-Teaching in grades 6-12) for 45 minutes a day or 225 minutes a week.
