English Language Learners

NPSD’s English Language Learner program supports students who speak other languages, are learning English, and who may have recently moved to the United States.

  • Federal regulations mandate that schools assess English language learners each year in grades K-12.
  • Rhode Island is a member of WIDA, a multi-state partnership that has created an English language proficiency test called: ACCESS for ELs (Assessing Comprehension and Communication State to State for English Learners).
  • ACCESS for ELs is administered each year to any student who is receiving EL support and/or any ELL student who has been waived from EL programming.  The ACCESS scores are used to determine the ELL students’ proficiency levels and progress in English language acquisition.
  • Scores are used to drive instruction and services for the next school year and provide important data that enhances instruction and learning in supports for ELs.
  • When an EL student reaches English proficiency determined by the ACCESS score and other exit criteria, he/she will exit the ELL program and be monitored for two years by an ELL specialist.
