English Language Learners
about 1 year ago
Lyon County School District is committed to providing equal educational opportunities to every student. The English Learner (EL) Program is designed to accelerate English acquisition for students whose first language is not English and to further assist them in becoming successful learners in the general education classroom.
In the area of language acquisition, the goal of the English Learner (EL) Program is to provide students with the opportunity to develop skills in speaking, listening, reading, writing and comprehension, thereby, enabling the students to perform effectively within the general academic classroom.
EL services are provided to students either through content-based EL or pull-out EL models depending on the student's level of proficiency. Of course, the general classroom environment is always the best place for all students regardless of their diverse learning needs.
The EL program is founded on sound theoretical and pragmatic principles:
- Language development is a natural progression.
- Language is viewed as an integrated whole, rather than as a separate skill.
- Social interactions support and enhance complex language development
- Instruction in language takes into account student's learning styles, academic levels and linguistic growth.
- Listening, speaking, reading, writing and comprehending are integrated.
- Language learning comes best through a variety of meaningful and challenging activities.
- Students' experiential and educational backgrounds will serve as the entry points for learning to listen and speak, and to read and write.

Annual Performance Report
by District
"The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA 2004) requires states to develop and submit a State Performance Plan (SPP) to the
Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) at the U.S. Department of Education. The SPP is designed to evaluate the state's efforts to
implement the requirements and purposes of IDEA and describe how the state will improve its implementation. The plan consists of several
priority areas with specific indicators defined for each area. Measurable and rigorous targets are defined for each indicator to show progress
throughout the period of the SPP. For school year 2014-2015, states are required to report publicly on the performance of school districts for
SPP indicators 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14. The table below shows how this school district performed on specific indicators
and whether or not the district met the state's annual targets for those indicators as defined in the Nevada State Performance Plan" (Nevada Department of Education, 2016).
