    Designated English Language Development (ELD)


    This class is offered to multilingual students at the beginning level of English language proficiency.  Students learn the fundamentals of English, both social and academic language, in a small environment with a specialist.  Emphasis is placed on vocabulary development, speaking and listening practice, and reading and writing at the appropriate level.  Students in this class generally score 1 or 2 on the ELPA or ELPA screener.  For more information on English language proficiency levels, please see below.


    欧美巨乳色情片 has adopted the curriculum Get Ready! by Vista Higher Learning as the core materials for this class.  For more information about Get Ready!, click .


    Integrated English Language Development (ELD)


    In this model, students who qualify for ELD services receive tailored instruction and support in one or more of their academic classes.  This model is used for students who have enough English proficiency to access grade-level content but would benefit from the further development of their reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills in English.  This model also allows students to access an additional class during the term.  The ELD specialist works with these students who are at the intermediate and early advanced levels through co-teaching with the teacher of another subject (like English, Science, Math, etc.).  For more information on English language proficiency levels, please see below.
