| The goal of classes for English Language Learners (ELLs) is to help students develop language acquisition and cognitive academic language skills in order to meet the challenging State academic standards, the ability to successfully achieve in class-rooms where the language of instruction is English, and to provide the opportunity to participate fully in society. English Language Learners have scored below the minimum cutoff established by the state of New Jersey on a state approved English language proficiency assessment. Annual standardized tests approved by State of NJ monitor student progress, and help to determine how they advance through the program. Please contact the ELL teacher in your child's school if you have questions or concerns that you would like to address. |
