ELIS Coding
Starting the 2023-2024 SY, English learner students need be assigned a WAVE code for the type of LIEP program they have been assigned to:
IS1 – Transitional Bilingual.
IS2 – Dual Language or Two-way Immersion.
IS3 – English as a Second Language (ESL) or English Language Development (ELD). Oklahoma State Department of Education English Language Proficiency
IS4 – Content Classes with Integrated ESL Support.
IS5 – Newcomer Programs.
Including the coding in the WAVE will lead to the automation of our end-of-year performance reporting. Please be sure to complete this in your Student Information System. If you have questions about how to do this in your SIS, please reach out to your vendor. Other questions may be addressed to Roni.McKee (roni.mckee@sde.ok.gov, tel. 405-522-5073). Please have this completed by November 30th.
This document is intended to expand on the definitions of different types of instruction programs for ELs offered in Oklahoma. These descriptions can aid districts in appropriately coding ELs with an ELIS (English Learner Intervention Strategy) in the district's Student Information System.
