Information about ELLs
@ HPSHThere are @ 170 kids who have an ELL label at
Highland Sr.
Many of these students scored high enough on the
ACCESS/MCA/GRAD/ETC to not require direct ELL
services--they are better served in the grade level
classroom.
@10 of these students are in the new Language
Academy program.

Level 3 and 4 Students
Therefore, most of you will be seeing mostly levels 3
and 4 ELL students in your classes. I know that
there are some exceptions to this.

New Model
There is a new ELL model in SPPS that is movingaway from sheltered EL classes and moving to more
co-taught classes. This is happening mostly for
levels 2, 3, and 4. But we dont have enough staff to
coteach with all departments, classes, etc.

Examine your Objective
Think of a goal for one of your lessons from today or
the recent past or future.
Unpack that objective--what language would a
student need to know and be able to use to complete
this objective successfully?
Then model that to ensure students understand how
it should look/sound.
