English Language Development (ELD)

The MPK-8 Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education (CLDE) Department recognizes students' languages as an asset.  We strive to support the maintenance of these languages as students develop their English through our English Language Development (ELD) programming.

English Language Development (ELD) services are provided via a co-teaching model. Co-teaching is when a general education teacher and an ELD teacher collaborate to plan and implement daily lessons in a core content area. The general education teacher uses their content expertise and the ELD teacher uses their language expertise to plan lessons that support students in developing language while accessing grade level standards.
