Birney Elementary English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC)
The English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) is an elected body of parents, staff and community members who volunteer and advocate as the voice for our Multilingual (English) Learners.
As a body, the ELAC is responsible for giving specific feedback on the school site plan, site decisions, programs and budget. It is our hope that by focusing on ongoing improvement of English language development through ongoing reflection and revision of teaching and learning we will also improve student engagement, attendance, and achievement for English language learners. By working together to demonstrate value and support for mother-tongue and home-culture, we aim to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for all families attending Birney Elementary. For more information about ELAC please contact the office or attend our schedule meetings. Your suggestions, ideas, and experiences are important to us. We look forward to meeting you at our next meeting.
Everyone is welcome but only elected members have voting rights.
ELAC Commitee Members receive training to be able to review, recommend and set goals to improve EL student achievement at the school as well as advise the principal regarding various programs in the school, including state and federally-funded programs related to Multilingual (English) Learners.
Meetings: 5-6 times per year

Este año, 38 estudiantes usará Lexia® English Language Development™, un programa de aprendizaje combinado adaptable basado en la computadora, cuyo objetivo es ayudar a los nuevos alumnos bilingües desde el jardín de infancia hasta el sexto grado. A través de las actividades de Lexia English, respaldamos el desarrollo del idioma inglés de los alumnos mediante conversaciones académicas y aprovechamos el contenido de Matemáticas, Ciencias, Ciencias Sociales, Biografías y Conocimiento General.
Estas tienen el objetivo de ayudar a los nuevos alumnos bilingües y multilingües a trabajar en el dominio del inglés en tres áreas clave: hablar, escuchar y gramática. Así es cómo Lexia English funciona:
• Su hijo comienza desde un punto de partida que se ajusta a sus necesidades y trabajos en actividades en línea durante la semana.
• Las actividades en línea incluyen instrucciones directas, repetición y comentarios a medida que su hijo aprende nuevas habilidades.
• El progreso y el desempeño en el programa se informan para que los maestros puedan brindar ayuda cuando sea necesaria.
• Las lecciones de habla y escucha también se usan como práctica para reforzar las habilidades en el programa en línea.
• Se pueden enviar a domicilio certificados de logros para celebrar éxitos y para mostrar progresos en el programa.
¡Esperamos que esté igual de entusiasmado que nosotros con este programa! Atentamente. Lexia English y se puede usar en casa para practicar más.
¡Comenzar es sencillo!
1. Para usarlo en una computadora, diríjase a https://clever.com/
2. Para usarlo en un iPad, descarga Lexia English app gratis desde la App Store.
Luego, su hijo puede iniciar sesión con el nombre de usuario y la contraseña que usa en la escuela.
Recomendamos 10-20 minutos diariamente para realizar los beneficios del programa.
Si tiene preguntas contáctenos, Jennifer Sims [email protected].
