English Language Development (ELD)
English Language Development (ELD) services are designed to support students in the English Language Program as they develop English proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Concepts taught in the program support grade-level content skills taught in all areas of the regular curriculum. Instruction is designed to meet the needs of students at various English proficiency levels, is offered in all schools, and includes all students who test into the division-wide English Language Development program. Students are assigned to courses in the ELD programs based on their first language literacy, their English proficiency level as measured by the ACCESS test, and their academic level.
