Program: Institute at Pajaro Valley Unified School District: CRLP UCSC Systematic ELD(English Language Development)

Systematic English Language Development program for Pajaro Valley Unified School District.

Systematic English Language instruction:

• Explicitly teaches language by assessed proficiency level
• Emphasizes oral language development (listening and speaking) through carefully structured, purposeful and engaging interactions
• Lays out a scope and sequence of grammatical forms and sentence structures needed to communicate for a range of purposes (functions)
• Teaches vocabulary for social and academic purposes moving from general to increasingly precise words
• Provides ample oral and written practice for application of newly taught language in authentic contexts
• Does not replace literacy or other content instruction, but rather equips English Learners with the language they:
  • Are not likely to learn outside of school,
  • Will not be taught in any other content area, and
  • Are expected to use every day for academic and real life purposes.
