Posen Robbins School District’s Language Instruction Educational Program (LIEP) aims to provide exemplary education to all Emergent Bilinguals (EBs). It will ensure that each student develops cognitive academic language proficiency skills in English or in English/Spanish necessary to reach the highest level of academic achievement and obtain long-term success.

There are very specific guidelines with regards to the identification, screening, and placement of Emergent Bilinguals (EBs) into our LIEP. Student eligibility for the program is determined through the administration of an English language proficiency test, and parent permission is required for entrance into the program. Our LIEP is an effective vehicle for providing Emergent Bilinguals (EBs) with a full measure of access to an equitable educational opportunity as required by federal and state law.

Nuestro Programa de Lenguaje Educativo para la Instrucción tiene como objetivo primordial de proveer una educación ejemplar a todos los bilingües emergentes. El programa asegurará que cada alumno/a desarrolle las habilidades necesarias para el dominio del lenguaje académico cognitivo en inglés o inglés/español necesarias para alcanzar el nivel más alto de rendimiento académico y obtener éxito a largo plazo.

Existen pautas muy específicas con respecto a la identificación, selección y ubicación de los bilingües emergentes en nuestro programa. La elegibilidad del estudiante para el programa se determina mediante la administración de una prueba de dominio del idioma inglés, y se requiere el permiso de los padres para ingresar al programa. Nuestro programa es un vehículo eficaz para proveer a los alumnos bilingües emergentes acceso a una educación equitativa según lo exigen las leyes federales y estatales.
