The English Language Learner Population at Foster Road makes up approximately 28% of our student population. Our ELL students have consistently exceeded their API Growth Targets each year. As a result of Proposition 227, all students receive instruction that is overwhelmingly in English. Those students in need of Primary Language support are placed in Sheltered English Instruction (SEI) classes where a bilingual teacher is available to meet their language needs. All students are leveled during Language Arts according to their English reading level. All English Language Learners receive a minimum of 60 minutes daily of English Language Development (ELD) in grades 1-5 and 30 minutes in Kindergarten, using the new Houghton Mifflin Language Arts program and the Hampton Brown “Into English.”
