EL Department Staffing and Program

Woodhaven-Brownstown School District values the diverse assets and contributions that our students and families bring to our schools, and we are dedicated to providing the highest quality educational opportunities for all students. 

WBSD offers unique programming and learning opportunities for students with native language or home language other than, or in addition to, English. Our services focus on supporting students with English language acquisition and development while assisting them with core academic content. 

The district encourages students and families to continue embracing, celebrating, and maintaining your native language(s) and cultural identities.

 Elementary Programming 

Certified EL teachers provide individualized or small group instruction based on the student’s English Proficiency alongside mainstream classroom learning. 

 Secondary Programming 

Levels of instruction are tailored to students’ proficiency levels. Students with low English proficiency are scheduled into a daily English- Language-Development course, while students with high English proficiency receive resource and coordinated support from a certified EL teacher.
