The ELL program is designed to meet the educational needs of all students. ELL services are provided in the student’s home school. The ELL curriculum provides for the development of communication skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.  Primarily, the ELL curriculum emphasizes the development of competency in language acquisition. When possible, an endorsed ELL teacher serves schools with LEP students.  The following guidelines are used in determining instructional services. ELL Services: Must be delivered when possible by endorsed English as a Second Language teacher. Must be delivered during the regular school day, although supplemental support may include tutorials or summer school programs. Frequency of delivery is dependent upon the individual student’s needs with a preference of at least 4 class periods weekly. TRANSITIONAL LEP STUDENTS Support services for transitional LEP students can take many forms, depending on the individual needs of the student.  The director of the ELL program, or the ELL teacher should monitor the student’s performance in the classroom by checking the student’s report card and test scores and by discussing each student’s progress with the classroom teacher.  Students are offered other services as appropriate.
