Middle & High School EL/Bilingual Education

Macomb Intermediate School District Support

The Macomb Intermediate School District (MISD) provides support to students identified as English language learners or limited English proficient (LEP)* by means of bilingual instructional assistants who work one-on-one or in small groups throughout the week. While each student is entitled to at least on assistive session per week, some students may require more or less support.

*LEP is a federally used term and limited proficient is not intended to describe a deficiency in students learning English as a second or additional language.

Grant-Funded Resources:

ELLii (formerly ESL Library), BrainPop ELL, TeenBookCloud, and AudioBookCloud!

Using Section 41(a) funds from the Michigan Department of Education's Bilingual Education grant, we have taken measures to substantiate our supports for English language learners at the secondary level via ELLii (formerly ESL Library) and BrainPop ELL.

Likewise, TeenBookCloud will also provide access school-wide to a platform of ebooks, including high interest/low lexile (hi-lo) texts and graphic novels to bridge literacy gaps. AudioBookCloud is a digital repsitory of audio books from a variety of genres and subject matter.
