My Mission
My personal mission is to
provide effective and age-
appropriate English language
instruction (listening,
speaking, reading, and
writing), and to support
English Language Learners
to achieve in all content
areas, grades 1-6. I'm very
dedicated to enhance our
entire staff's ability to meet
our academic mission and
link our diverse community to
our schools. Through the
inclusion of parents,
community members,
community resources, parent
liaisons, and interpreters, the
Galloway Township School
District works to provide a
well-rounded support base
for all of the ELL families in
our schools
Our English Language Learners Program Philosophy

The students will be able to:

show improvement on standardized measurements such as the ASK, and the
Access for ELLs test.
n
provide an equal opportunity to develop the student's full potential
n
develop in the student an understanding of local American customs and
traditions in order to facilitate a satisfactory personal and social adjustment
n
enable the student to achieve fluency and literacy in the English language
and to learn to function effectively in the American culture
n
encourage the student to serve as a stepping stone for his/her parents to
become involved in the new community, both sharing and contributing to the
community
n
enable the student to develop the ability to understand spoken English, and
teach him/her to become knowledgeable in literacy
n
develop a sufficiently high level of English language proficiency to enable
them to continue to learn in the mainstream program
Curriculum Overview: This is a developmental language program for non-native
speakers. Instruction is provided to develop proficiency in listening comprehension,
speaking, reading, and writing skills in English. The program is consistent with a
program plan filed each July with the State Department of Education and updated
each October. Students included in the program are identified as limited English
proficient in accordance with assessment procedures prescribed by the state.
Students are exited upon meeting state established cut-off scores on a language
proficiency test. The main goals are to prepare students to function successfully in
mainstreamed classes to provide enough "survival" English to enable students to
function in their new community.
Curriculum Objectives:
Students will:
·
develop a positive self image within the context of their own heritage and
within the larger context of the total society
·
develop a positive self-image which will enhance the individual's ability to
fruitfully determine, understand, and examine his capacities, interests, and
goals in terms of society
·
cherish values and pride of identity
·
develop an understanding of American Citizenship
