Summary:
|
The Curriculum Department, in collaboration with the Federal Programs Department and High School English Language Teachers, is recommending the adoption of HMH English 3-D Language Launch for use in its Newcomer English courses. The program is designed for use with multilingual learners in grades 4-12 who have beginning English proficiency levels. It builds on their strengths for rapid acquisition of social and academic language by providing explicit instruction in the reading, writing, speaking and listening domains. It utilizes multimodal activities to develop the language that students need to successfully navigate school, their communities, and content area topics. The various components have copyright dates from 2021 to 2023. NWLSD Teachers piloted the program during the 2023-24 school year and a parent information event was facilitated by Jenny Blust and Aryn Johnson.
This item was presented for information at the September 23, 2024 Board meeting.
