English Language Learners Support

 

 

The English Language Learner Development (ELD) Department is committed to improving services for English language learners enrolled at Lifeline. The ELD Department promotes academic excellence, equity, and access for all students. Lifeline has adopted a variety of instructional programs to best meet the needs of these students. The programs are designed to close the achievement gap between English learners and native English speaking students.

 

 

Lifeline Education Charter School meets all applicable legal requirements for English Learners (“EL”) as they pertain to annual notification to parents, student identification, placement, program options, EL and core content instruction, teacher qualifications and training, reclassification to fluent English proficient status, monitoring and evaluating program effectiveness, and standardized testing requirements. The Charter School will implement policies to assure proper placement, evaluation, and communication regarding ELs and the rights of students and parents.
