Supports and Services for Language Learners
Quincy School District’s system for English Learners is designed to ensure students learn English and participate in classroom instruction.
- All language learners are placed in classrooms with teachers who use strategies to help language learners understand classroom instruction.
- During a portion of their school day, teachers intentionally teach English to language learners using content from their academic instruction.
- Some students also participate in additional instruction with a language teacher based upon their language level using research based instructional materials.
If you would like to discuss your child’s progress in English Language development, please contact the school to set up an appointment with your building TBIP/Language teacher.
