ABOUT OUR ELL PROGRAM
(ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS)
MSAD #27 generally has between 5 and 10 English Language Learners (ELLs) every year.
Who is an ELL? A home language survey is administered to every enrolling student. It is used to identify those who may not be proficient in the kind of English required to succeed in school. This is called Academic English.
We are required to screen any students:
— who use a language other than English in daily non-school surroundings;
— whose families use a primary language other than English in the home;
— whose first language was not English.
The screening is combined with other indicators to determine whether the student will receive ELL services.
ABOUT OUR INTERVENTION PROGRAM
