|Description: |The English as a Second Language grades 3-5 curriculum consists of five domains with five proficiency levels for each domain of instruction. It includes both social |

| |communication English skills and instructional skills that assist the student in becoming academically successful in core content areas. The four language domains are |

| |maintained as separate constructs for the purpose of thinking about curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The use of five levels of language proficiency reflects the|

| |complexity of language development and allows the tracking of student progress across grade levels within the same scale. These five levels of proficiency, (1) |

| |Starting, (2) Emerging, |

| |(3) Developing, (4) Expanding, and (5) Bridging, are intended to highlight and model the process of language acquisition. Because this curriculum is a working document,|

| |enhancements can readily be made as changes |

| |in the “No Child Left Behind” legislation occur. Currently, students in New Jersey are tested annually with the A.C.C.E.S.S. standard exam. This instrument is based on|

| |the WIDA Standards which New Jersey has also adopted and is implementing in revised proficiency standards. These revisions will include expanding the scope and breadth |

| |of the ESL content standards and using students’ first languages and cultures as the foundation for developing academic language proficiency. |

CURRICULUM MODIFICATION

The regular curriculum is modified for Special Education students enrolled in both self-contained and resource center classes.

Modifications address individual learning rates, styles, needs and the varying abilities of all special populations served in the programs available in the district.

The intent is three-fold:

• To provide alternative materials, techniques and evaluation criteria to address the range of students' needs;

• To parallel the regular curriculum in skill, content sequence and coverage to prepare students for mainstreaming;

• To maximize students' potential for movement to less restrictive environments.

In the event there is a conflict between the prescribed curriculum and the IEP for an individual student, the IEP will take precedence and will constitute the individually prescribed proficiencies for the student.
