WHAT IS AN LPAC?
As an advocate for the ELL, the LPAC becomes the voice that initiates,
articulates, deliberates, and determines the best instructional program for
the student. It functions as a link between the home and the school in
making
appropriate decisions regarding placement, instructional practices,
assessment, and special programs that impact the student.

fluency to understand.

uses visual and vocal props to help the student understand what is being
said.

Communication-based

emphasizes practical conversational usage.
Content-based
teaches grammar and vocabulary and uses written assignments to practice
these skills. It emphasizes an integrated approach to learning English.
