Algoma Elementary School

The Algoma School District English as a Second Language Program is committed to ensuring that all of our students receive the best education possible. The program supports learners in developing English language needed to succeed in school and beyond. Language instruction is delivered by a licensed ELL teacher. Instruction is delivered in English and targets the development of both language and academic content. Our K-12 ELL instructional model emphasizes learning language through content. The ELL teacher helps students build a foundation of content knowledge, academic problem-solving skills, and language proficiency. Our program is designed to help limited English-proficient students improve their English speaking, reading, writing, and listening and empower them to become self-sufficient in a general education classroom. Classroom teachers are also given support to better help the needs of our ELL students.
