Course Rationale and Description:
Designated ELD is a core instructional program for English Learners. According to the ELA/ELD Framework, designated ELD is a protected time during the regular school day when teachers use California ELD Standards to build into and from content instruction in order to develop critical English language skills, knowledge, and ability needed for content learning in English (ELA/ELD Framework, 2014, p.106).
ELD 2(E710) is a year-long course taught consecutively with Language Acquisition Support (E711) intended to provide accelerated and explicit English language instruction to students at the exit emerging level in the areas of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Students will expand their development of literacy skills and produce written and oral communication. The course is aligned to the CA 9-12 ELD Standards at the exit emerging level. ELD 2 is designed to build skills necessary for transition into ELD 3.
Graduation and “A-G” Requirement:
Students receive 10 English credits and 10 elective credits.
