Culturally & Linguistically Diverse Learners (CLDE)
Our CLDE Program is dedicated to empowering students whose home language is not English by developing their academic English skills while celebrating and valuing their cultural identities.
Through customized language instruction and culturally responsive teaching, Bromley East’s CLDE program helps students build confidence and fully participate in classroom and extracurricular activities. The cultural richness our English Learners bring to Bromley East is celebrated as an essential part of our community!
Program Overview
We’re committed to helping English Learners (EL) thrive academically and socially by developing proficiency across all four language domains: listening, reading, writing, and speaking.
Our program aligns with Colorado's English Language Proficiency Standards and provides instruction tailored to each student’s proficiency level through proven programs like National Geographic Reach and Inside.
Language instruction is integrated into grade-level curricula, including Wonders and StudySync, ensuring students develop language skills alongside academic content.
To create an inclusive and supportive learning environment, our approach includes:
- Culturally responsive teaching that respects and celebrates each student’s cultural background while encouraging a positive self-image in a supportive space that empowers and includes everyone.
- Tier 1 scaffolds, such as visual aids, vocabulary support, peer interactions, and differentiated instruction, helping students access grade-level content and actively engage in learning.
- Strong partnerships with families through regular communication and events, creating a collaborative, inclusive school environment where every family feels valued and supported.
- Collaboration with classroom teachers to integrate strategies that meet the unique needs of each English Learner and ensure seamless support.
Our ultimate goal is for every student to feel confident, included, and empowered to succeed in both academic and social settings.
