The Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) hosts quarterly Multilingual Education Leadership Network (MELN) meetings. These meetings were formerly known as the English Learner Coordinators’ Network or ELCN. The MELN provides local district educators who coordinate services for English learners and dual language programs with the opportunity to obtain current federal, state, and regional information about English learner issues, including multilingualism and to discuss how services can best be implemented. The MELN consists of coordinators/directors from districts and charters in Sacramento County and the Capital Service Region (Region 3), which serves ten counties (including Alpine, Colusa, El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Sierra, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba). 

Note that the meetings are programmed to be virtual until December 2020. A zoom invitation is sent with all confirmed registrations. We will reconsider switching to in-person sessions as we continue to follow the local health guidelines.

• Provide timely information on the implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
• Update attendees on state and federal accountability requirements.
• Share resources for assisting districts to increase student achievement across all student groups.

The 2020-21 Summative English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) Virtual Regional Training is for test examiners and ELPAC coordinators.  The training includes an overview of testing procedures, resources, and full administration of the speaking domain. Please note that the training is optional. 

For optimal participation, have your Enrollment Keys for the Moodle Trainers’ course.
We ask that you be present and participate fully since there are new processes this year.

Cost: $45.00 (Fee includes the ELPAC Administration and Scoring Training binder).

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act is a function of general education. As a result, many of the general education staff responsible for implementing the Section 504 requirements lack the specialized training typically associated with special education, even though there are comparable procedural requirements as those found in special education. This training provides an overview of the Section 504 process, including eligibility, assessment, and child find requirements, and considers how distance learning may impact how schools comply with the legal requirements and continue to meet the needs of the students. This training is ideal for Administrators, Section 504 Coordinators and any staff responsible for implementing Section 504 at school sites.
