English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)

The Fairfield County School District MLP team believes that best practices and appropriate accommodations, adapted to individual student performance and growth, are essential in meeting our MLs' needs throughout the various levels of language acquisition. We are committed to supporting classroom teachers in their differentiation and scaffolding of instruction to deliver comprehensible input that promotes equitable access to content and the curriculum.

The goals of the Fairfield County School District ML Program are:

To provide equal educational opportunities to MLs who have a primary or home language other than English
To increase student achievement among MLs
To develop and support successful instructional models at the classroom and building level.

NOTE: MLs are multilingual learners. MLP is a multilingual learner program. ESOL is English for Speakers of Other Languages.
