All classes begin with a consistent welcome routine, starting with the teacher greeting students by name as they enter followed by a warm-up activity.
Lessons follow sheltered instruction with clear speech, gestures, and repetition to support MLs. Teachers scaffold learning with sentence frames, visual aids, and bilingual vocabulary tools, while structured peer interaction and guided practice help build both content knowledge and language skills.
Throughout the course academic goals are set and managed with mid-unit and end-of-unit assessments such as tests, presentations, and essays.
Your provided paraprofessional, or Classroom Coach as we call them, provides on-the-ground support and classroom management.
