http://www.udel.edu/eli/facbook/contents.html Please note this is a NEW url address.

Review of recently adopted procedures

I. RETENTION PROCEDURES The following procedures should be followed by all faculty who believe they will have to retain or not award a certificate to a student: 1. Week 7: Meet with the student, explaining to the student that retention or failure to earn a certificate is possible—and why this is the

case. The teacher must complete a retention form and submit this to Lowell Riethmuller. The teacher asks the student to meet with him or her during week 6 to learn of the final decision. Please note: you should meet with ALL students in week 6 to review progress, not just those in danger of failing.

2. Week 8, Wednesday: instructor of record meets with the Committee on Student Attendance and Conduct, providing evidence (i.e., grades, attendance, sample work) for the student to be retained or conditionally promoted or not awarded a certificate).The committee and teacher will make a decision about the student’s placement/certificate at that time. The teacher informs the student of the decision. If your student is receiving a failing grade in one skill area, you must attend this meeting..

3. Week 1, next session: student receives schedule, along with a letter explaining that he or she has been retained or conditionally promoted. The student may appeal the decision by writing a letter to the Assistant Director, who will, in turn, meet with the instructor of record to determine whether the case should be referred back to the Committee on Student Attendance and Conduct. If the committee reviews the case, their decision will be final. The student may choose to meet with the Director for further clarification.

Our mission is to recruit only the most talented and experienced English language specialists and staff and promote their continued professional growth.

II. TEACHER RESPONSIBILITIES Faculty approved policies now require the following of all teachers for every session: 1. Using the approved grading scale and +/- system—see facbook. 2. Reminding students that final grades of C- or higher is required to earn a certificate or be promoted. 3. Not promoting any student with a grade of F in any skill area. Students in Level IV wishing to take a qualifying grammar exam for

EAPV, must have a grades of B in all RW skill areas before being admitted for testing. 4. Knowing that students in either EAPV LS or EAPV RW must earn B’s in order to be promoted to EAPVI LS or RW 5. Knowing that Graduate-bound students may no longer take EAPVI to meet CAP or non-CAP requirements. They must, instead take

GRADVI. To enter GRADVI, graduate-bound students must complete EAPV with B average or pass GeneralVI. PreMBA students only may enter GRADVI after completing General V RW or AWB RW with no skill grade below B and a 6 on the final essay, as judged by two raters. See facbook for policies on qualifying for GMAT/GRE preparation, Oral Business Case Studies, and Entrepreneurship.

6. Listing your method for determining grades on your syllabi 7. Using at least three scores to arrive at grades for each skill area. Providing timely and regular graded feedback on student work. 8. Basing final listening grades on vocabulary and listening test or assessment results; basing speaking grades on the average of speaking,

oral grammar, and pronunciation scores. Reading grades must be based on reading and vocabulary scores; writing grades are to be based on an average of writing scores only; grammar grades based on grammar grades.

9. Factoring the Compass Test, Grammar test, final essay, reading test, and oral rating sheet into each student’s final average as 20% of the listening grade. (Courses using Azar Grammar books must use the approved grammar exam based on the Azar series.)

10. Basing letter grades on progress in meeting course outcomes. A= student consistently exceeds expected progress in meeting learning outcomes; B= student meets and, in some areas, exceeds learning outcomes; C= student meets and sometimes falls short of expected progress in meeting learning outcomes; D or F= student consistently falls short of expected progress in meeting learning outcomes.

11. Effort will be indicated through the following supplemental numerical grades:1= outstanding effort; 2= satisfactory effort; and 3= unsatisfactory effort. Effort grades are to be given for each course and have no bearing on determining whether a student may be promoted. However, an unsatisfactory effort grade can prevent a CAP student from matriculating. Faculty must specifically state on every course syllabus the criteria for determining the effort grade for that course, including: attendance, completion of assignments, class participation, and use of English in the classroom. Such criteria should be reviewed with Level Coordinators for levels III-VI. Expectations are to be stated as clearly and defensibly as possible.

12. Posting grades and final test scores on your classroom door by the final class of the session, with students’ grades listed by a code you provide your students. According to UD policy, Instructors may not post according to students’ ID numbers or names. Teachers should make plans to meet with all students in danger of failing the class during week six.

13. Administering the same writing test to all sections of a given level; instructors of electives may offer different prompts as long as they reflect the curriculum learning outcomes for that level. The allotted testing time is to be one hour, no more. Students are to be informed of the topic on the day of the testing, not before. Thus students may not bring notes/outlines and may not use a dictionary. Prompts for all Level VI writing exams must be approved by the Testing Committee, which will coordinate the rating of each CAP student essays by two raters, neither of whom may be the student’s instructor of record.

14. Faculty may give students a grade of ―I‖ for Incomplete if the student is in danger of failing the course (D or F) but has earned an effort grade of 1 or 2 and maintained strong attendance. Students who are failing and who have not had strong effort or attendance may not be given incompletes. Students must have a “B” average to be promoted from EAPV LS or RW to EAPVI classes.

15. Students whose course average falls below 70% will be retained and placed on academic probation. Failure to earn a GPA of 2.0 in the next session will result in dismissal, unless the student’s effort is 1.

16. New: All CAP and sponsored students must register for and attend tutoring. Attendance is mandatory and is calculated into the overall attendance required for students to maintain their F1 or J1 visa status.

III. ROSTERS. Please find your class or lab rosters for this session. PLEASE MAKE NO CLASS CHANGES UNTIL Friday. Update your rosters as newly placed students come to your class, tutoring hours, or lab. In cases of schedule discrepancies, assume that the student's schedule is accurate. A few students may find "SEE JM" in place of their class. Please send them to see Joe Matterer during this morning's opening meeting. Please send students who need tutoring to see Ken Hyde at 108 Main Street, Rm. 225A. Students must see Wendy to complete a class change request. Returning students who have not paid their bills must settle their accounts before they will be given schedules. Do not admit any student to class who does not have a schedule or a note from the administration.

IV. SCHEDULES. Please note that the proficiency level of every student is printed on his or her schedule and on your roster. Please record these levels in

your grade book to be used for promotion/graduation recommendations.

V. SPECIAL PROGRAMS. We have special programs that will be integrated fully or partially into our intensive English Program. We have noted all the programs we will have, along with the academic coordinators so that you might obtain more background information:

Our mission is to assume personal responsibility for solving problems, value each other as highly as we do our clients, and support each other in our work.

VI. CLASS CHANGE PROCEDURES. If a new student wishes to move up or down in a listening speaking class, he or she must retake the Michigan AURAL this Wednesday at 3:00 PM or 4:00 PM, in rooms Gore 303 and Gore 208. Students must fall within the appropriate Michigan Score Range to qualify for a level change. Students wishing to change reading/writing classes must sit for the reading test, also Wednesday 3:00 PM or 4:00 PM. Note: teachers of classes meeting in the afternoon will need to let students out a little early to take the 4:00 PM exam. Level IV students trying to retest for EAPV must take the EAPV Grammar exam AND the Reading exam. Although we are not requiring you to use a class change request form this session, be sure you are sending only NEW students. You should also tell new students that most student levels do NOT change as a result of re-testing, that the initial assessment process is quite accurate. Be sure to administer and grade a diagnostic essay by Thursday and bring these and other results to the student swap meeting (318 S. College, Room 108, 1:00 PM, Thursday), when final changes to student schedules will be made. Students wishing to change laterally (for example, Level IV L/S to Oral Business) need not take an examination. Lateral changes must be made through Joe Matterer through Thursday, from 2:00 to 5:00PM. CAP students who wish to change classes must see Erin Bastien. The students can stop at Wendy’s desk to ask for a Class Change Request Form to submit to her. We do not permit students to change from one section to another within the same course, e.g., IVA to IVC for any reason. We do not permit students to change classes for a different teacher or class time. Students who received the class they initially requested on their intention forms may not request a class change. CHANGES. After the class swap meeting, no changes in classes will be made without Joe’s approval--and faculty justification in terms of test scores or formal assessment. Students who are requesting a transfer to another class must not write in their books and should keep their receipts. After the class change is official, the teacher can give the student the bookstore exchange form. The bookstore will only permit returns if books are to be exchanged for other texts.

VII. LATE ARRIVALS. We are expecting new students to enter the program throughout the first few days, so please be prepared for new arrivals. Reserve some time after each class to introduce the course to late arrivals, so that you don't take class time from those already here.

VIII. ATTENDANCE/PROBATION. If the Committee on Student Attendance and Conduct has placed students on probation, their names will either be marked on your student roster, or you will receive a letter later in the week. Probationary students must maintain 90% attendance and, in most cases, a "B" average, or they are subject to dismissal. [That is, they cannot miss more than 4 L/S and 3 R/W classes in the session.] So if your probationary students miss two of your classes, talk to them immediately to get them back on track. Your attendance must be entered into the data base

at the end of every week. Students on probation for academic failure must maintain 90% attendance, an effort of 1, and a passing grade of

C- or higher. Important change: We are asking all faculty to enter mid-session grades and attendance for all students by Wednesday of Week 4, Nov. 16. This will help us act on students who have violated their probation.

IX. START TIMES. L/S classes start promptly at 8:30 AM; R/W at 10:40. A reminder to all teachers of the requirement to arrive at the ELI (or 108 E. Main) at least 15 minutes before the start of your first class (even if you teach in another building) for messages, mail, announcements, and last minute copying. In addition, all classroom teachers must be in their classrooms five minutes prior to the start of class to ensure that activities begin promptly at 8:30. The pattern you set for starting class is what students will tend to follow. Morning tutoring will run from 8:30am to 12:30pm and afternoon tutoring will run from 1:00 PM until 6:00 PM every day but Friday.

X. COPYING. We strongly recommend that you do your copying in the afternoon before each class. Please save trees and conserve paper. Use transparencies where practical, or copy back to back. Teachers whose classes or offices are in 102 Main St.or 108 E. Main should do their copying in 108 East Main Street. Faculty in 318 S. College can use the copier there in Room 111Teachers whose classes or offices are in any other location should do their copying in the main ELI building.

XI. COORDINATION OF MULTIPLE SECTIONS. Our curriculum requires that all essential learning outcomes be covered in every section of a given level. Please take a team approach with all classes having multiple sections, and please share your materials! New teachers should work closely with their course mentors and level coordinators to ensure they are keeping pace and addressing all required learning outcomes.

Our mission is to manage our resources, attaining financial viability without compromising the outstanding value of an ELI education.

8

Note: Level Coordinators are, in fact, level supervisors. Decisions made in coordinator meetings must be followed/implemented by all affected teachers at that level.

XI. OFFICE HOURS. Remember, faculty must have a minimum of three scheduled office hours set aside to meet with their students each week. Please use the office hours to recommend what skill areas students should address through the Self-Access Learning Center or Tutoring Center—and to help them select courses for the next session. Plan to meet with all of your students at least twice a session to review their progress on stated objectives.

Please let Scott know if you are using a different office or telephone extension.

TUTOR CONTACT INFORMATION To foster better communication among tutors and teachers regarding student needs, we include tutor/teacher emails in the ODM. Emails for tutors can be found, beginning on page 10.

XII. SYLLABI. Be sure to review syllabi carefully with your students. By University policy, you are required to provide each of your students with a course syllabus. This must be done no later than Wednesday of this first week. Keep your syllabi up-to-date; remember that your syllabus is your commitment and the ELI’s contract with our students. Honoring this promise includes meeting all core learning outcomes and completing identified assignments. No individual teacher can change any learning outcomes listed on their syllabus. All outcomes are approved by

the Curriculum Committee and the faculty as a whole. Please follow the eight-week timeline for your class. Be sure to include on the syllabus your office hours, your email address, your grading system, ELI attendance policy, and required textbooks.

XIII. FINAL ESSAYS AND ORAL RATING SHEETS. If you have not already done so, please place original copies of final essays in an appropriately labeled gold envelope and return them to Saundra Chapman so that the essays can be scanned and properly filed in each student’s computer file.

XIV. EVALUATIONS Class evaluations are required and must be administered by the end of the eighth week of the session. Please administer according to established procedures. Faculty may NOT administer the course evaluations for their own classes; they should ask a colleague to switch classrooms on that day.

XV. ELI ADDRESS LIST. Please make sure to give your home address, phone, email address, ELI office, and ELI extension to Wendy Clark (wclark@udel.edu).

XVI EMERGENCY ALERTS. Please establish a phone chain with your listening/speaking students during the first week of class. Announcements for closings that are weather or emergency related will be posted on the homepage of the ELI website (www.udel.edu/eli) by 6:45 AM. Scott will also leave a voice mail message at the main ELI number (831-2674). For those of you living a greater distance from UD who need to know earlier, feel free to call Scott as of 6:30. Since many of your students may not have access to computers from their homes, we are still asking each teacher to create a phone chain. Notify your students by starting the phone chain—relating to them what is posted on the ELI webpage. Students may call the office to hear a voice mail announcement as of 6:45 am. Please note the policy established by the Vice President: "If no formal announcement of closing, late opening, or early dismissal is made, employees who decide for personal reasons not to report or to leave early must take vacation time or leave without pay."

7. Please announce the SPECIAL FIRST WEEK SCHEDULE: No tutoring will be held today. Listening Laboratory classes will begin on Tuesday. The SELF-ACCESS LEARNING CENTER hours will begin Tuesday, though note the times set aside strictly for orientation.

8. ATTENDANCE: Students must miss 8 or fewer classes (e.g., combination of 3 R/W and 5 L/S classes) to earn honors (i.e., meeting requirement for overall 90% attendance rate and "A-" average during stay). Students must only miss 12 or fewer classes to earn a certificate for the session (85% attendance requirement for graduation). Students missing more than 16 total classes in a session have violated the terms of their student visa and are subject to dismissal. Students will receive letters at each of these three stages. Remind CAP and Sponsored students that their tutoring attendance is now included in their total attendance. Please be sure to enter your attendance on one of the faculty computers each Friday, using only our standardized abbreviations for markings: .33 = 5 to 15 minutes late; 1 = absent or 15+ minutes late

9. REMIND STUDENTS THAT THEY MUST MAINTAIN A "C-“ AVERAGE OR HIGHER TO EARN A CERTIFICATE. The number of absences permitted for students attending a partial session is to be prorated. Note that there are no excused absences, with the exception of students needing to return to their home countries or for approved visits to other universities to which they are considering applications for degree programs—or for hospitalization.

10. Intercultural Club and host/homestay contact. Students who wish to work with an American Language partner should contact Sean Stellfox to join the Language Partner Program or to get information about the Culture Exchange Program. Encourage your students, instead, to volunteer for Community Service activities as a way of meeting Americans. Also encourage them to make other connections with the community via host families, joining local volunteer organizations, or attending the houses of worship of their faith. Host family coordinators can be reached at info@eliahp.com and homestay family coordinator, Nancy Purcell, can best be reached by email: rtp3@aol.com.

ABSENCE POLICY FOR TEACHERS.

11. Absence Policy and Substitutes Please check the absence policy in the teachers’ handbook for procedures to follow if you have to miss classes due to illness or emergency. Please use only approved substitutes by drawing from the sub list below. Morning teachers may also call on colleagues scheduled to teach PM classes and vice versa.

VERY IMPORTANT! By the end of the first week of class, you will be given a student address list. Please review this list with your students and mark any changes. This list must, by law and UD policy, be returned to Letha Earl, by next Tuesday (Nov. 1). It is now an Immigration Law and University policy requirement that this information be collected immediately upon our students’ arrival.
