CPS ELL Programs - Mary jo Montenegro

A very interesting talk by Ms. Montenegro about ELL programs in Cincinnati public schools. I had no idea that there were that many ELL students in CPS but it stands to reason that there would be. The 70% African-American was a bit surprising though it is also evidence of whites moving away from the city. I know that we at Princeton have a growing ELL population but we are doing well with how we are dealing with it. We have SIOP in place at the high school in 9th and 10th grades which allows us to teach more on these students levels.

    Yes, Cincinnati Public Schools is much more diverse with ELL and ESL students than many of us realized. Usually it is the the NYC and Chicago public school districts who wave their flags to represent the various countries of their students. But CPS has increased by 200% the past five years with ELL/ESL students and their are many challenges that result because of this demographic change.
