PUTTING OUR CHILDREN FIRST
Streamlining identification processes for migratory, multilingual learners, immigrant children, youth, and students experiencing homelessness who are federally protected groups of students through Enrollment Survey (ES).
SC PROGRAM SERVICE DELIVERY MODEL (PSDM)
PSDMs are the models of instruction for MLs. Districts should use the information below when choosing the instructional program aligned with local needs. Since the number of students may vary in districts across the state, districts can choose the appropriate PSDM(s) for each ML from the SCDE-approved list. In addition, the district's PSDMs for MLs must address the following two requirements based on the U.S. Department of Education’s EL Toolkit: (1) the provision of evidence-based English language acquisition services, and (2) the provision of effective participation of MLs in all district academic and special programs. More information can be found in Chapter 2 of the EL Toolkit.
