English Language Development (formerly known as ESL) refers to instruction given by an ESL endorsed teacher with the purpose of increasing English language proficiency in speakers of other languages.  A child who qualifies for Dual Language receive their ELD time embedded within the Dual language classroom curriculum. A child who qualifies for ELD services only, would receive ELD services from an ESL endorsed teacher. This ELD teacher may provide these services within the classroom or by pulling out into a small group setting.
