Monthly Standards Update -- 23-24 SY 5th Issue
In March 2021, the North Carolina State Board of Education unanimously approved the 2020 ELD Standard Course of Study (SCOS) for implementation in the 2022-2023 school year.
In an effort to keep stakeholders informed during the Implementation phase, the NCDPI ML/Title III Team provides monthly standards updates that contain the latest announcements and current news regarding the ELD SCOS. These updates are sent every first Tuesday of the month.
Call to Action: ML/AIG Students
Our commitment to fostering diversity and inclusivity within the classroom is steadfast. We strive to ensure that every student, regardless of their background or linguistic proficiency, is provided with opportunities to excel and reach their full potential. In this pursuit, the ML/Title III and the Advanced Learning and Gifted Education teams are working together in an effort to recognize ML Students whose exceptional abilities and talents often remain concealed within the complexities of language acquisition. We are pleased to share a Call to Action paper: Strategic Actions to Realize Equity and Excellence in Gifted Education for Multilingual Learners.

Plans are underway for professional development across the state. A sql report 'Academically or Intellectually Gifted/ML students' will soon be active in PowerSchool. If you have any success with identifying ML students as AIG, please email ESLTitleIII@dpi.nc.gov. We would love to highlight your story!
