K-5 Program Model

The MPS Multilingual Programming Framework sets expectations for English language development support and service for students depending on WIDA proficiency level. Each school is encouraged to consult with the Multilingual Department to modify these supports to best suit building and student needs. Parents can receive more detailed information from their students' English Language (EL) teacher.

Support by Level

English Language Development (ELD) Service:

• Newcomer Beginner English Learners: Recommended 30-45 minutes a day of direct English Language Development service through pull out, push in, or a co-taught model. 

• Experienced Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced English Learners:  Recommended 30 minutes a day of English Language Development service, preferably through push in or a co-taught model. Students are clustered for English language support throughout the day.
