Intensive Language Course (ILC)
For Beginner English Language Learners
FGC Elementary offers an Intensive Language Course (ILC) for students that need extra language support. However, the goal of the ILC is to have the students fully integrate into the regular English-only classes, which are operated in a total immersion setting, within one or two semesters. Placement needs will be determined during the entrance/placement process.
Goals & Objectives
The goal of the intensive language course is to help beginner English learners develop the language skills necessary
to be successful students and members of the global society. The following objectives help reinforce this goal :
To nurture self-esteem in each student's linguistic and cultural heritage.
To develop proficiency in the English language in all domains of reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
To reach a level of proficiency in all content areas.
By allowing interaction with non-ILC students throughout the day, including but not limited to specialty classes and club activities.
How Our ILC Centers Work
Our ILC takes place either in a homeroom-based or a dual-management setting.
ILC homerooms will create a safe environment that reduces shame and allows our full-time ILC instructors to supervise and manage the full learning experience for each student.
In a dual management setting, ILC students may be pulled out for their grade classes to join target groups to focus on building their linguistic skills during the Fayston day. However, distinguished classes do not exceed 6 periods to ensure the students' integration into their grade class.
These systems are thoughtfully designed to provide customized and concentrated language support in an intimate and consistent setting for beginner ELL students in grades 4-5.
Special Programs
What is PBIS ?
FGC-wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports is a systematic approach to teaching behavioral expectations throughout FGC. It is based on a proactive model to establish a healthy framework for creating and sustaining safe and effective FGC learning community.
Social & Emotional Learning
All classes in FGC Elementary regularly have social-emotional learning lessons to help students learn social-emotional skills such as self-control, building relationships, and conflict resolution. Our Social Emotional Iearning program (Second Step program) engages every learner.
In teacher-facilitated group settings, students connect with the content, each other, and the teacher as they build new social-emotional skills.
Variety in media, activities, and interactive components helps engage every learner and provide opportunities for culturally relevant teaching.
The look and feel of each grade's lessons evolve as students grow into new developmental stages.
Bell Schedule
Fayston Elementary students have 6 periods every day, a total of 30 hours of classes a week.
Morning worship begins at 9 o'clock, the first class starts at 9:30, and the last class of the day ends at 4 o'clock.
