SUPPORT OF SECOND LANGUAGE LEARNERS

Bradley offers a structured English Immersion program for students who have limited English language skills. Both English Language Development (ELD) and Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English (SDAIE) are utilized to support our EL students. A complete description of the Bradley program Services to English Language Learners is a part of the school Site Plan. The Bilingual Resource Teacher (BRT) monitors the progress of each student, and is responsible for administering state mandated assessments and reporting assessment data to staff and parents. Student progress will be reviewed twice each year by the Language Review Team and reported to parents through report cards, portfolios, conferences, etc. as outlined in the school Site Plan.

The Migrant Educational Resource Teacher (MEST) serves our migrant students in a variety of ways and facilitates meetings each month for the parents of migrant students.
