• The content that the 6601 teacher provides for English Language Learners (ELL) students include all aspects of the English Language dimensions-Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing.
• Many schools that receive the allocation are comingling regular students with ESOL students I and II violating the intent of the 6601 instructional grouping. Pedagogically, this grouping allows the focus to be on English language acquisition and strong language development.
6600-ESOL Resource• This allocation is over and beyond the basic allocation.
• The ESOL resource allocation is provided to schools to address ESOL students who are NOT in a self-contained program as a push-in/pull-out model.
• The content that the 6600 teacher provides for English Language Learners (ELL) students includes all aspects of the English language dimensions-Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing.
• The purpose of this allocation is to provide support in the English Language Arts/Reading component targeting the same instructional objectives that the ESOL student is exposed to at grade level, but now will receive at the ESOL level in a manner that is comprehensible.

Extra period teaching supplements are allocated on the basis of one for each 25 student contact periods. In computing secondary ESOL allocations, each English Language Learner (ELL), represents two contact periods. ESOL FTE no longer counts toward basic teacher allocation.

• This teacher also needs to provide ESOL Levels I through IV students Home Language Arts (Spanish/Haitian-Creole) instruction in order to maintain the students’ literacy in the home language.
• Additionally, the Curriculum Content in the Home Language (CCHL), Spanish/Haitian-Creole, allocation is provided to schools to address the ESOL Levels I and II students’ content instruction in the Home Language in order to avoid the student falling behind in the content areas; i.e., Mathematics, Science, Social Science.
• Such instruction in the home language addresses the same instructional objectives as are implemented in the regular curriculum in English.

Grading Procedures
Grading of ELL
This comment does not apply to a student who drops to an ESOL level 1 on the Language proficiency test.
Grading of ELL
Grading of ELL(Secondary)
• For ESOL levels 1 and 2 students, when instruction in social science, science, and mathematics is provided primarily in English using ESOL strategies, it may not always be possible to evaluate the students’ progress on the basis of course content mastered. When that occurs, the teacher should not enter a grade, but should enter comment No. 39 “No grade received because of limitations in evaluating progress.”
• For students entering a Miami-Dade County Public school after the third marking period and who have not met course requirements because of their late arrival, Comment No. 49, “No final grade assigned due to limited time of enrollment,”
