English Learners

The English Language (EL) program in District 191 helps students achieve English proficiency in the areas of speaking, listening, reading and writing across all content areas including: social language, English Language Arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. The program is taught by licensed EL teachers who work with students during the day to support language acquisition.

EL programming aligns with the mission and vision of District 191, outlined in the One91 Strategic Roadmap, the Minnesota Department of Education and the Guiding Principles of Language Development of WIDA (World-class Instruction Design and Assessment). 

District 191 serves students in the English Learner Program according to their grade levels, English proficiency levels in all four domains (as determined by the WIDA Screener, ACCESS or Alternate Access), prior school records and assessment history, feedback from previous teachers, best practice research and the program model.
