ELE Tiered Focused Monitoring 2022-2023 School Year

During the 2022-2023 school year, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s (DESE’s) Office of Language Acquisition conducted a Tiered Focused Monitoring Review of Needham Public Schools. The Office of Language Acquisition reviews each district’s and charter school’s ELE program every six years to monitor compliance with federal and state English learner education laws and regulations. Areas of review include English learners’ student assessments, identification of English learners; what programs English learners are placed in, parent and community involvement, curriculum and instruction, student support services, licensure requirements for faculty, staff and administration, program plans, and evaluation and record keeping.

During the 2023-2024 school year, the Needham Public Schools worked to correct items identified by our Tiered Focused Monitoring report and our corrections were accepted by DESE in June 2024.
