• Integrated ELD involves the integration of English language development in all areas of the curriculum, including reading, writing, science, and math.
• Teachers from all subjects work together to support students in their language development, using effective English teaching strategies in the content they are teaching.

DESIGNATED ELD

• Students receive specific and targeted instruction in English language development, with the goal of improving their ability to read, write, speak, and listen in English.
• Designated ELD teachers are specially trained to work with English language learners and use effective teaching strategies to help students develop their language proficiency.
