Capti Solutions for Education
Integrated Classroom (ELL/ENL)
Integrated classrooms for the ELL/ENL (English language learner/English as a new language) student populations generally consist of a special education teacher and a general education teacher. Both teachers collaborate in order to provide age-appropriate instruction in an English language mainstream classroom. The teachers work together to modify and accommodate the instruction in order to meet the needs of their native English-speakers as well as bilingual students. The underlying responsibility of the teachers in an integrated classroom is to make sure each student has access to the general education curriculum and that their special needs are accommodated.
