Educational Approach

CCCS has selected English as a Second Language (ESL) as its educational approach. ESL instruction is an academic discipline that is designed to teach ELLs social and academic skills as well as the cultural aspects of the English language necessary to succeed in an academic environment and contribute to society. The ESL program model that CCCS has chosen is a push in/pull out model.

Instructional Approach

At CCCS, the ESL program uses the push-in/pull-out method of instruction. Depending on students' individual needs, ESL instructors vary their time between pushing into the regular education classrooms and pulling out students into the ESL classroom for direct language instruction.

What is ESL?

English as a Second Language (ESL) is an educational approach for students who qualify. At registration, all families complete the “Home Langauge Survey”. This informs Chester Community Charter School (CCCS) if another language is spoken and understood at home other than English. If another language is used at home, a student is screened on their English abilities. Depending on the score of the screener, a student maybe placed into ESL instruction for extra English language support. In ESL, a student receives services three to five times per week for 45-60 minute sessions to strengthen their English listening, speaking,reading and writing abilities. The overall goal for ESL services is to better assist a student in being successful in both the general education classroom and daily living.
