Dr. Scott Wyndham talks with Kirlyan, 8th grade student at AMS North about his experience since moving to Avon from Peru four months ago. They are joined by EL Coordinator Angela Rasor and Family Liason Rosa Liz to talk about English Language Learning in Avon Schools.
The ELL Program's mission is to ensure that children who are limited English proficient attain English proficiency, develop high levels of academic attainment in English, and meet the same challenging State academic content and student academic achievement standards as all children are expected to meet.
