Our ESL Goal:

The goal of the COCISD ESL program is to ensure educational equity by assisting Emergent Bilingual students in the acquisition of the English Language. Improving student's skills in the areas of reading, writing, speaking, and listening through differentiated small group instruction and immersion in the English language and culture. All while supporting a continued pride in their native culture and advancement in their native language. COCISD teachers will use sheltered instruction in math, science, social studies and their electives to ensure they are successful in both language development (ELPS) and the TEKS of each class.
