The Hayward Unified School District’s English Language Learner
(ELL) Master Plan is a result of collaboration and commitment to
the meeting and exceeding the needs of our community’s ELL
students and families. This plan works to ensure not just
compliance for our students but works towards providing them with
a world class education.
Our goal is for our students to graduate from Hayward Unified
School District with the cognitive skills and experiences
necessary to choose post-secondary education or to succeed in the
workplace. It is our responsibility to meet this need. It is our
hope that faithful implementation of this plan will give ELLs a
solid educational foundation.
This plan furthers our work in staff development for our school
staff. HUSD must provide the resources and professional
development to aid staff who work directly with our students.
Our ELL Master Plan is based on state and federal laws, district
board policies, research, pedagogy and practice. The laws and
polices are to serve and safeguard student needs.
Our hope is that this plan will surpass expectations of support
for teachers, administrators, parents, and especially our
students. This plan will serve as the basis for our work, a work
that is inclusive of all learners and needs.
