Multilingual Support
Multilingual Department
The Multilingual Department strives to support Multilingual Learners (MLs) through high-quality resources so they have access and opportunity to succeed in their social and academic settings. We help our teachers and students by providing English Language Development (ELD) instructional support that includes coaching, professional development, programmatic consultation, curriculum, and PLC support.
At Moore our student speak over 30 languages, with the most popular being Spanish, Nepali, Arabic, and Kinyarwanda. We have many bilingual teachers and staff.
