Children’s Home Society has been a longstanding supportive partner with the St. Johns County School District working to improve student well-being and success. Through our Community Partnership Schools, Children’s Home Society (CHS) works to provide high-quality academic programs, tutoring, on-site health and mental health services, mentoring and leadership activities, year-round and after-hours activities and services, parent and community engagement, adult education, and other social service programs. Beyond the long-term commitment to work together to address student needs, they help to contribute available social and institutional resources. Targeted Case Management has been a huge asset to the success of our students. Through this program, families raising children who have behavioral or emotional difficulties, a mental health diagnosis, or destructive behaviors receive professional support to navigate local systems and resources that will provide the services and care necessary to bring peace and stability into the home. In partnership with our targeted case managers, families learn to work through tough challenges, reach family goals, build strategies to handle challenging behaviors and situations, and manage stress and frustrations. Through their Healthy Families program, we can refer eligible families to be set up with a coach and champion that will help children/families realize their full potential by offering encouragement, guidance in understanding growth and development, connections with other community resources, as well as empowering families to set and achieve their goals. Counseling is also offered through CHS and is unique to every student and family. Their clinical team members are highly trained counselors that will help build upon strengths and address barriers or challenges families in St. Johns County may be experiencing. CHS counselors serve students in our schools and meet the needs of each family through in-person and telehealth sessions.

Request for Approval of Five-year Renewal of SJCSD ESOL Add -On Endorsement Program 2022-2027 Meeting Jul 12, 2022 - REGULAR SCHOOL BOARD MEETING Category M. Personnel/Human Resources - Consent Type Action (Consent) Goals GM-1 Mission Statement Background Information: Florida school districts, including two of the largest in the nation, educate over 240,000 English Language Learners, with over 300 different languages spoken among them. These demographics reflect the growth of ELLs throughout Florida. The Florida Department of Education’s Bureau of Student Achievement through Language Acquisition (SALA) assists schools and districts, while ensuring ELLs receive comprehensible instruction. In addition, the Bureau monitors schools and districts for compliance with state and federal rules, regulations, the 1990 League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) et al. v. the State Board of Education (SBE) Consent Decree and the 2003 Modification of the Consent Decree. As one of the fastest growing districts in the state, we continue to become more diverse each year. Currently, our student body represents 114 different countries speaking 79 different languages- and this number increases each year. In order to provide a free and appropriate education that is accessible to all students, it is imperative that our teachers receive the necessary training to ensure that they need to infuse appropriate strategies into their Tier 1 curriculum. Continued approval of the ESOL Add-On Program will provide the vehicle for this training. St. Johns County School District will benefit from continued approval of the ESOL Add-On Program because it will continue to provide easily accessible options for our teachers to receive training in research-based, curriculum-aligned, up-to-date strategies that will make learning accessible to all of our students no matter what their level of English proficiency may be. As our student population grows in diversity, so do the number of teachers who require the training that is included in the ESOL Endorsement courses. The ability to provide these courses through our school district to our teachers creates a network of support that is far more intimate and focused on the needs of our SJCSD students than if our teachers were to have to seek the course work elsewhere. The ESOL Endorsement is comprised of five 60-hour courses. It should be noted that ESOL is both an area of certification and it is an add-on endorsement in the state of Florida. However, even teachers who opt for the certification option still must complete two of the endorsement courses in order to maintain the subject area on their Florida Certificate. Teachers may complete the ESOL Endorsement courses in a variety of ways: The St. Johns County School District approved courses, courses offered through the North East Florida Education Consortium (NEFEC), courses offered through the Schultz Center, or through review of courses taken from other private and public institutions (including vendors and colleges). The Florida Department of Education requires that districts submit their Add-On Endorsement Programs every five years describing the methods that are practiced in verifying that teachers are meeting each course’s objectives as outlined by the state certification rules. Our plan must include providing courses that will count towards the Endorsement on a Florida Teaching Certificate. Our current plan expires in June 2022, and we are requesting renewal. The current plan offers three primary pathways for teachers to complete the necessary coursework for the ESOL Add-On Endorsement: Pathway A: Completion of courses facilitated by St. Johns County School District at no cost to our full-time teachers. Pathway B: Completion of FDLRS courses offered through NEFEC Pathway C: Completion of courses offered through the Schultz Center Additionally, teachers may submit transcripts to FLDOE to determine if component equivalency may be awarded. Educational Impact: The ESOL Add-On Endorsement Program is designed to increase the level of knowledge, expertise, and understanding of educators working with students who have limited English proficiency, ensuring appropriate instruction for this population. Strategic Plan Impact: The ESOL Add-On Endorsement Program will improve instructional delivery by ensuring that educators earn the Endorsement content required to be considered highly qualified to provide instruction to the district’s ELL students. Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact on the school system. Recommendation: Approval of the St. Johns County School District ESOL Add-On Endorsement Program for 2022-2027 five-year renewal. Action Required: Approval of the Superintendent’s recommendation.
