ESL/ELD Staff

Jonathan Walker - Principal of Program

Caroline Mitchell - Curriculum Lead

The ESL Team's Shared Vision of Success:

All staff in Upper Grand schools will be knowledgeable about ESL programming and able to support ELLs in the regular classroom. Our school communities will be sensitive to the diverse cultural backgrounds of the students in our schools and actively strive to represent those cultures in the school community. We will be partners with the staff at our schools to support English Language Learners by sharing information, collecting relevant and accurate data, setting clear goals for targeted instruction, and providing accommodations and modifications to meet the needs of our diverse ELLs. Our ultimate goal is to have students and educators in our schools feel safe, happy and supported.
