In an effort to educate each child individually, it is important to consider how each child can best learn. In the Foxborough Public Schools, it is important that we provide English language learners (ELL) or limited English proficient students (LEP) with the opportunity to become proficient in English and provide them with full access to the curriculum. Some students do not have a strong base of literacy or fluency in their first language and need to develop essential skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English.
As Foxborough is considered a low incidence school district in regard to the number of enrolled ELL and LEP, in order to accomplish these goals, English language learners will receive sheltered English instruction (SEI) in classrooms in accordance with state and federal laws. Sheltered instruction addresses the concepts and skills as defined in the district curriculum and assists students with language development while providing an appropriate and challenging educational program that is aligned with the Foxborough Public Schools Vision, Mission and Core Values.
