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
Level 1 (1-1.7): Recommended 30 minutes a day of direct service along with an additional 15 of supplemental service (45 minutes total).
Level 2 (1.7-2.7): Recommended 30 minutes a day of direct service from an EL licensed teacher.
Level 3-5 (2.8+): Recommended 30 minutes a day of direct service from an EL licensed teacher. Students are clustered for English language support throughout the day.
