Our vision for Multilingual Learners in RVUSD:
RVUSD will ensure all learners achieve at high levels by accessing a rigorous education that meets their individual needs and prepares them for adulthood. We seek the means for adaptive change for how we see and understand our Multilingual Learner learners and their families; including our perceptions, expectations and assumptions about their lives and learning.
More information about our commitment, purpose, and program can be found in our Multilingual Learner Master Plan:
California ELD Standards and ELD Framework, along with individual ELPAC student scores will guide teachers’ instructional decisions for multilingual learners.
Designated ELD is protected time during the regular school day in which the ELD standards are used to develop the critical English language development that English learners need. School sites determine how ELs are grouped, and instruction occurs 4-5 times per week by a certificated teacher.
Benchmark Advance ELD is our adopted Designated ELD curriculum.
Integrated ELD support is provided throughout the day as academic language development in the core content areas; explicitly teaching English language skills (vocabulary, syntax, discourse).
Benchmark Advance provides instructional suggestions for Integrated ELD.
Reclassification procedures are initiated by the Principal and Support Coordinator and guided by the following documents:

Multilingual Learner Advocates
Multilingual Learner Advocates work primarily with students at lower levels of English proficiency to assist with oral language acquisition. They may also be utilized to support students in the classroom so certificated teachers can provide Designated ELD instruction.
