Notes: BOLD “Ungraded” “Prekindergarten”, “Transitional (or readiness) kindergarten”,
“Kindergarten”, AND “Transitional first (or pre-first) grade” IN HELP TEXT.

HELP FOR CODE 1: Ungraded: A classroom containing children with an age
span of two or more years, not formally identified by grade(s).
HELP FOR CODE 2: Prekindergarten: Prekindergarten includes early childhood
education programs, nursery school, or preschool.
HELP FOR CODE 3: Transitional (or readiness) kindergarten (TK): A transitional
kindergarten (TK) program is an extra year of school before kindergarten starts.
It is different from preschool, Head Start, or prekindergarten. TK may be for
children who are too young to start kindergarten or need more time to be ready
for kindergarten. Schools have different names for these programs (for example,
early transitional kindergarten (ETK), readiness kindergarten, or a kindergarten
equivalent in a classroom without grades or one with multiple grades), but all are
types of kindergarten. The program may be in a public or private school, or an
early childhood setting such as a nursery school, early childhood learning
center, or day care center. It may be a full- or part-day program and have
regular and/or special education.
HELP FOR CODE 4: Kindergarten: Traditional year of school primarily for 5year-olds prior to first grade.
HELF FOR CODE 5: Transitional first (or pre-first) grade: Transitional first (or
pre-first) grade is a school program between kindergarten and the first grade.
The name of this program may vary by school (for example, a K-1 class or
placement). It is for children who have attended kindergarten, but need more
time to be ready for the first grade. Children in this program may be part of a
regular first-grade classroom or in a separate classroom.

Instruction” IN HELP TEXT.

HELP FOR STEM: ESL Instruction: A program of techniques, methodology, and
special curriculum designed to teach ELL students English language skills,
which may include listening, speaking, reading, writing, study skills, content
vocabulary, and cultural orientation. ESL instruction is usually in English with
little use of native language.
Bilingual Instruction: Instruction in all courses and subjects given in English and
the native language of the child of limited English proficiency to the extent
necessary to allow the child to achieve competence.
Dual Language Instruction: Also known as two-way immersion, the goal of these
programs is for students to develop language proficiency in two languages by
receiving content instruction in English and another language in a classroom
that usually consists of both native English speakers and native speakers of the
other language.
