More acronyms and some useful information about ENL:
Remember, ENL is what ESL is called in NYC...
Stand-alone ENL = usually pull-out, a lesson taught separately from the core curriculum in an ELL’s official class; instruction targeting the English language needs of the ELLs in the class; taught by a certified ENL teacher.
Integrated ENL = usually push-in, the same content area lesson that is being taught in an ELL’s official class; a content area lesson which simultaneously delivers the content subject matter and develops language; taught by a dually-certified teacher (ENL and content area / common branch) or co-taught by a certified ENL teacher and a certified content area / common branch teacher.
In New York, there are now 5 levels of ENL:
Entering (beginning): Entering ELLs receive 360 minutes of ENL instruction per week. (180 minutes of Stand-Alone ENL and 180 minutes of Integrated ENL.)
Emerging (low intermediate): Emerging ELLs receive 360 minutes of ENL instruction per week. (90 minutes of Stand-Alone ENL, 180 minutes of Integrated ENL, and 90 minutes of EITHER Stand-alone or Integrated. I usually program these ELLs for 180 minutes of Stand-Alone and 180 minutes of Integrated.)
Transitioning (high intermediate): Transitioning ELLs receive 180 minutes of ENL instruction per week. (90 minutes of Integrated ENL and 90 minutes of EITHER Stand-Alone or Integrated.)
Expanding (advanced): Expanding ELLs receive 180 minutes of ENL instruction per week. (180 minutes of Integrated ENL.)
Commanding (tested out/proficient): Commanding ELLs receive 90 minutes of ENL services and are eligible for ELL accommodations for an additional 2 years after they test out. (90 minutes of Integrated ENL per week or alternative pathway (page 115-122 in Policy Guide)
