ESOL. Maximum teaching load for ESOL teachers will be as follows: with paraprofessional - 75 students; without paraprofessional - 60 students.
ESOL. The district agrees to develop alternate training which is provided in a teacher friendly, instructionally sound and cost efficient manner. The Superintendent or a designee will meet with a representative of the Union to develop diverse and sufficient training opportunities to meet the requirements. Teachers who have Limited English Proficient (LEP) students assigned to their classrooms will begin the ESOL training as required in the META agreement. Management will be responsible for notifying the teacher in writing that a designated LEP student has been assigned to the teacher and will notify the teacher of the requirements for ESOL training as a result of the LEP student assignment. The superintendent shall notify the MEA of any intent to change the school district's LEP plan.
ESOL. It has been agreed by the ESOL/CLD partnership group, that the College should continue to administer the single point of contact system which enables learners to be assessed and directed to the most appropriate training for their level of need. With the withdrawal of funding available through the local authority and ESOL provision solely dependent on college credit funding, the local ESOL partnership is planning to allocate their resources to the areas of most need. This means that provision will only be available on the basis of what the College can afford to fund, although additional sources of funding are being sought. The reduced funding package will result in no accredited learning in the Eyemouth area, where unmet demand is estimated to be 14 learners.
