ELD Level 1 Curriculum (Newcomers, Level 1) 500-999 Users (Price Per User) 1-Year Term
Help English Learners and LTELs Overcome Language Roadblocks
The key to unlocking proficiency is through understanding how language works and lives. Our English language development (ELD) programs for middle and high school are fully aligned with the most recent English proficiency standards to keep the focus on language development. They feature:
- Age- and level-appropriate content designed specifically for secondary English learners
- Sheltered instructional strategies, with video, visual, and audio reinforcements to make new concepts easier to grasp
- Culturally-relevant pedagogy and academic language that reflects meaningful aspects of the learners' identities and daily life
Our solutions can serve as supplemental tools, form the instructional foundation for your designated ELD time, or be used for extended learning opportunities. They are typically supported by Title III and Title I funding.
