About ELD (English Language Development)
The goal of the MCPS English Language Development program is to empower Emergent Multilingual Learners (EMLs) to master academic English to thrive in school, college, careers, and as global citizens. The education of students learning English as a new language is a collaborative responsibility shared by the English Language Development (ELD) teacher, the classroom teacher, all other appropriate MCPS staff, as well as the EML. We identify eligible students for ELD services, monitor their English Language Development, provide instructional support in various content areas, and exit students who have met the Maryland State Division of Education's English Language Proficiency Target as measured by the WIDA ACCESS test.
