English Learner Program

PWCS provides a program of language instruction at each K-12 school in supportive settings so that ELs attain proficiency in English and meet the same challenging academic content and student achievement standards as other students. Components of instruction include:

  • Academic language instruction to students at English Language Proficiency (ELP) levels 1-5 for success in language arts, math, social studies, and science;
  • Delivery styles to maximize service opportunities: Co-taught, push-in, pull-out, inclusion, and EL-Only class; and
  • Support from ESL-certified teachers and content teachers knowledgeable in techniques which support English language development (ELD).

The PWCS Student Opportunity And Multilingual Services Department (SOMSD) provides guidance on the EL program, services, and supports. Learn more about the SOMSD website.
