    At Franklin, we believe ELL èßäÊÓƵ can achieve proficiency in reading, writing, speaking and listening as well as academic success in all of their classes. We work to ensure that ELL èßäÊÓƵ receive quality ELD services and support accessing content and grade-level instruction.

     

    English Language Development (ELD) is a series of courses designed to teach English Language Learners the reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills necessary to succeed in a “mainstream” class. All ELD courses follow the ELD High School Curriculum Guide for English Language Learners. Progress through these courses and attainment of English graduation credits are regularly monitored and evaluated by the ELD and Counseling staff. Students are exited from ELD when testing and other evaluations indicate that they will succeed at a level consistent with other high èßäÊÓƵ èßäÊÓƵ. However, exited èßäÊÓƵ will be monitored and supported throughout high èßäÊÓƵ.

     

    NOTE: It is possible that èßäÊÓƵ may receive ELD support within a content class, such as English Language Arts or Social Studies, through the support of a certified ELD teacher.
