serving the communities of Ashburnham and Westminster Massachusetts
The English Language Learner (EL) Program supports the mission of the Ashburnham Westminster Regional School District to prepare all students to be contributing citizens of local and global societies in an ever-changing world. Our English Language Learners (ELs) and their families are supported both culturally and linguistically through the diligent care of our certified ESL Teachers. ELs are provided with systematic, explicit and sustained English language development and meaningful participation in the district’s general education program.
The Ashburnham Westminster Regional School District has developed the English Learning Success Template (ELST) to assist in helping ELs receive the planning and support they need to make progress. The template identifies the steps that are taken to help students meet their goals and benchmarks in attaining English proficiency.
