The ELD/English for English Learners Courses of Study are an innovation in defining expectations, curriculum, and best practices for courses for our students in grades 7-12. These local Board of Education approved courses of study lay out a pathway for students to move from the beginning level of English acquisition to proficiency in English. This pathway will enable students to master English language development (ELD) and English language arts (ELA) standards and earn full credit towards high school graduation.

The Users' Guide offers a synopsis of the content and elements contained in the courses of study.
