Texas Effective Dual Language Immersion Framework’s (TxEDLIF’s) Rubric
TxEDLIF Rubric Use:
In each lever of the rubric, the scale develops from left to right, detailing performance levels from Established, Exceeds, and Exemplary Implementation. The rubric is organized by essential actions and described with key dual language practices. Each level builds upon the experiences of the previous one. When conducting a program evaluation using the rubric, use the associated Success Criteria Self-Review Scorecard for the associated TxEDLIF lever to mark each key dual language practice as Established Implementation, Exceeds Implementation or Exemplary Implementation. Once each lever is scored, the aggregated calculation will be calibrated to provide the total DLI Self-Review Score. The total will give the campus and district a quick analysis of their current overall implementation.
Expected Levels of DLI Program Implementation:
This level describes the DLI Program as implemented moderately well overall, but there are multiple areas of improvement in order to achieve access to effective instruction and long-term academic achievement for participating emergent bilingual students.
This level describes the DLI Program as implemented remarkably well overall, but there are some areas of improvement in order to achieve access to effective instruction and long-term academic achievement for participating emergent bilingual students.
This level describes the DLI Program as implemented exceptionally well overall, and there are few, if any, areas of improvement in order to achieve access to effective instruction and long-term academic achievement for participating emergent bilingual students.
Purpose:
The TxEDLIF’s rubric provides Local Education Agencies (LEAs) with a tool for self-evaluation of their DLI program effectiveness. This rubric, along with the Success Criteria and Self-Review Scorecard, is intended for internal use for determining the next steps for the development and continuous improvement of DLI programs at the campus and district level.
Organization:
The TxEDLIF’s rubric has five levers that are critical in the effective implementation and sustainability in high-performing DLI campuses. Each lever consists of essential actions and foundational key dual language practices.
