KnowledgeBases > The English Language Learner KnowledgeBase for Administrators > Element 4: Implement the English Language Learner Program

Purpose:

School districts are to deliver English language instruction programs to English language learning children to help them develop their English proficiency and meet the same state academic content and student achievement standards all students are expected to meet. In doing so, districts have broad discretion in selecting appropriate language programs, but should consider the following when developing their program.

  • Is there a need to provide alternative language services?
  • Will the English language program effectively meet the educational needs of ELL students?
  • Are the language instruction curricula that will be used to teach limited English proficient children tied to scientifically based research and demonstrated to be effective?
  • How will the teachers providing language services be certified as English language proficient?
  • How will parents be notified why their child is being placed in the program and of their right to have their child removed from the program?
