  7. ELL Program Mission English Language Learners (ELLs) will meet state standards and develop English language proficiency in an environment where language and cultural assets are recognized as valuable resources to learning.

  8. ELL Program Goals The goals of the ELL Program for all schools are to ensure that students will: 1. Acquire a level of English proficiency that will provide them with equal opportunities to succeed in the general education program. 2. Achieve the HIDOE content standards and English language proficiency standards at levels to be able to exit the program. 3. Possess the language, knowledge and skills to graduate and pursue post-secondary education and/or careers. 4. Develop an understanding of and appreciation for diverse cultures.

  9. Legal Basis for ELL Program • To meet obligations under the Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1974, 20 U.S.C. § 1703(f) (hereafter “EEOA”) • Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, 20 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq., and its implementing regulations at 34 C.F.R. part 100 (hereafter collectively “Title VI”)

  10. Identification • Use SIS-10 registration form to identify potential ELLs identified based on: • First Language • Most Used Language • Language Most Spoken in Home • If a language other than English is spoken, a student may qualify for supplemental ELL Program services
