Services are informed by formative language assessment and ACCESS data in the reading, writing, listening and speaking domains.
-
All ELD lessons include: language objectives, academic language practice, strategies that support language development, connection to grade-level content standards, connection to WIDA ELD standards

Every EL-identified student on the eligibility list receives service unless a service refusal form is on file.

Grouping and instruction are differentiated according to student needs.
