About Our Program
Welcome
Perry Township’s English Learners (EL) Program serves as an advocate for all language minority students. We are committed to fostering the acquisition of English language skills necessary for full transition into a regular academic program and participation in the total school community. We are dedicated to providing programs, practices, and services which reflect the changing educational and cultural needs of our students.
The district’s ELL program uses the WIDA Language Proficiency Standards, aligned with the Indiana Academic Standards, as a guideline for teachers in content area classes.
