About the Logan English Language Program

Mr. Culbertson graduated from
the University of Michigan in
2016 with an Elementary
Masters and Certification with
Endorsements in English
Language Arts and English as
a Second Language.
Push-In ELL Instruction means that the ELL teacher comes
into the general education classroom to support English
Language Learners during content-area lessons. The ELL
Teacher might sit with individual students, or a group of students,
while the classroom teacher is teaching. The ELL teacher might
also wait until instruction is complete, and then work with
English Language Learners individually or in a small group in the
grade-level classroom.

Mr. C was born in Chile and

grew up in Ann Arbor. He
enjoys meeting new people
and celebrating culture!

Pull-Out ELL Instruction means that the ELL Teacher pulls
students out of the general education classroom to work in
a small group setting in the ELL Room. During pull-out
instruction, English Language Learners are not in the general
education classroom. Students may be pulled-out to work in a
mixed-level proficiency group, while others might be pulled-
out to work in proficiency level groups (i.e. Entering,
Beginning, Developing, Expanding, Bridging, and Reaching).
Our approach to English Language Learning focuses on the
development of a students English Language Proficiency
and academic development in grade-level content. English
Language Learners work on their language skills (Listening,
Speaking, Reading, Writing) while equitably engaging in academic
tasks. We create an educational experience in which students are
immersed in a continuously communicative experience with their
peers in order to foster language use.
Our approach to English Language Learning uses both Push-In
and Pull-Out models. Students are frequently supported in the
classroom, with the appropriate amount of individual and small
group work outside the classroom, in order to hone language
skills that allow English Language Learners to fully engage in
classroom instruction, discussion, projects and assignments.
