Bilingual Multicultural Education Programs Annual Report, 2020-2021
New Mexico Public Education Department
The Language and Culture Division (LCD) provides accountability with support to districts that serve students participating in bilingual multicultural education programs (BMEPs) so that all participating students achieve the program goals as outlined by New Mexico statute and administrative code, these are: (1) students become bilingual and biliterate in English and a second language; and (2) students meet all academic content standards and benchmarks in all subject areas. The purpose of the Bilingual Multicultural Education Annual Report is to comply with state statute and inform stakeholders regarding the state's BMEPs. The LCD actively works to streamline and provide data that can be used in meaningful and purposeful ways. To that aim, the report focuses on the four key areas listed below. (1) Reports data collected on district, school, and student participation; (2) Reports data collected regarding language proficiency in order to assess progress on the first goal of BMEPs for students to become bilingual and biliterate; (3) Reports achievement data based on the Istation, the Transition Assessment in Math and English Language Arts (TAMELA), New Mexico Measures of Student Success & Achievement (NM-MSSA), New Mexico Assessment of Science Readiness (NM-ASR), and on the New Mexico Standards Based Assessment (SBA) for relevant subgroups, to assess progress on the second goal of BMEPs for students to meet all academic content standards; and (4) Evaluates and determines program effectiveness and use of funds for BMEPs. The report provides data for the 2020-2021 school year (SY), including some longitudinal data for comparison over time. Due to the circumstances brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and the closure of schools, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) has granted the New Mexico Public Education Department (PED) a waiver to bypass assessment and accountability requirements under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Thus, the student achievement data within this report was not collected during school year 2019-2020. Student data from 2018-2019 has been repeated. [For the 2019-2020 report, see ED615696.]
