LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION EDUCATION PROGRAM (LIEP)
LCSD staffs ELD teachers at each campus and also an ELD paraprofessional to provide supplemental support. LCSD is committed to developing and maintaining reading, writing, listening, and speaking competency in English as outlined by the WIDA standards and measured by ACCESS for ELLs 2.0 assessment. MLs will demonstrate proficiency according to state and district benchmarks as measured by state standardized assessments and curriculum based measures such as formative and summative assessments. MLs will develop and apply academic language as measured by curriculum based assessments. ELD teachers collaborate with classroom teachers to provide content-aligned language instruction as well as additional language instruction based on students’ unique language needs.
