Winona-Montgomery Consolidated School District English Learner Plan 2024-2025
The Winona-Montgomery Consolidated School District (WMCSD) English Learner (EL) Plan outlines a comprehensive approach to supporting EL students' language acquisition and academic success. The plan focuses on providing a safe and positive learning environment where students develop language, academic, and social skills. Key strategies include a pull-out program supplementing regular classroom instruction, collaboration between EL tutors and mainstream teachers, and a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) to address individual learning needs. The plan emphasizes using research-based practices, providing professional development for teachers, and utilizing a state-approved assessment (LAS Links Placement Test) to monitor student progress and inform instructional decisions. The plan also details procedures for identifying potential EL students, assessing their needs, providing services, monitoring their progress, and ensuring their participation in all district programs and activities. The plan aims to help EL students develop English language proficiency to achieve academic success and become functioning members of the community.
