🌍 Multilingual Learners (MLs) – English Language Instruction at Beattie
At Beattie Elementary, we follow the Targeted and Integrated English Language Development (TIELD) Model, blending 30 minutes of daily, explicit ELD instruction during WIN time with integrated classroom support. This aligned approach strengthens both academic content and English language skills for all multilingual learners.
🔤 What Is the TIELD Model?
- Targeted (Designated) ELD
During WIN (What I Need) time, MLs receive 30 minutes per day of focused English language instruction—grouped by proficiency—to develop speaking, reading, vocabulary, and writing skills aligned to ELP standards. - Integrated ELD
Classroom teachers embed language support throughout the day, scaffolding content with strategies like visuals, collaborative learning, and academic discourse routines.
🧩 Tiered Support Structure
| Tier | Who | Support Offered |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 – Universal | All students | Content-area educators scaffold language within lessons |
| Tier 2 – Targeted | MLs during WIN | Daily, 30-minute ELD groups focused on language development |
| Tier 3 – Intensive | Individual MLs | Additional targeted instruction based on specific language needs |
