English Language Learner (ELL) Program |
Barstow Unified School District (BUSD) identifies rigorous goals and objectives for its English Learner (EL) students. BUSD works to ensure that EL students acquire full proficiency in English as rapidly and successfully as possible in order to attain parity with native English speakers. The California English Language Development Test (CELDT) identifies five English-language proficiency levels for ELs:
- Level 1-Beginning
- Level 2-Early Intermediate
- Level 3-Intermediate
- Level 4-Early Advanced
- Level 5-Advanced
The district’s goal for EL students is to move up one CELDT level per year until they reach Level 5 and are reclassified as Fluent-English Proficient (FEP).
For additional information regarding BUSD's English Language Learner plan please see the below ELL Master Plan.

English Language Development Standards |
The CDE Manual, found below, presents a summary of the English-language development (ELD) standards for each domain (listening and speaking, reading, and writing). The summary is designed to give an overview what students must know and be able to do as they move toward full fluency in English. The levels through which English learners progress are identified as beginning, intermediate, and advanced. For each ELD standard of the summary indicates the English–language arts sub strand associated with it.
