The English Language Development Department is proud to share our updated Program of Study for the 2025 through 2030 school years. This document highlights our commitment to provide outstanding academic services to our students who speak a language other than English in their home.
The School District of Springfield Township’s English Language Development (ELD) Program is designed to support students who speak languages other than English. The ultimate goal is to provide Multilingual Learners (MLs) with opportunities to develop listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills equal to native speakers of English in order to facilitate their entry into the social aspects of the school community so that they can be successful in school and life.
