Program Description
We are PROUD to support our linguistically gifted students here in MSD19! Our goal is to build on the family's first language, never to replace it.
The ELL Program at Mascoutah CUSD #19 is for students whose families have any language other than English spoken in the home. Often times, our students do not speak another language themselves, but we are still able to offer support with any grammar/reading errors that may arise as a result of another language being spoken.
The program provides support to help students succeed in academic subjects and learn English.
Instructional Goals: To meet academic achievement standards for grade promotion and to become proficient in English.
Type of Instructional Support
Enriched Second Language Immersion (I): Subjects/content areas and language are taught in the student’s second language, English. Students are immersed in the English language in everyday scenarios as well as academic content. Generally, students in grades PK-1 will qualify for this support.
Push-in (PI): ELL Specialist supports students by going into his/her classroom during regular academic instruction.
Pull-out (PO): ELL Specialist supports students by meeting with student independently. Students receive this type of support along with push-in support.
Study Skills (SS): ELL Specialist supports students through direct instruction on vocabulary strategies, study skills, reading and writing strategies, and test-taking strategies.
Academic Accommodations (AA): Students may receive academic accommodations to support learning, if appropriate. See Academic Accommodations checklist.
Exit Procedures
The state of Illinois requires that students remain in the ELL program until they reach proficiency in academic English. A score of 4.8 on the WIDA© ACCESS for ELLs assessment is considered proficient.
Special Education Services
For students requiring specialized services, language instruction meets the objectives of the student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP).
