EL Resource

The Transitional Program of Instruction (TPI) is for non-native English speaking students who have difficulty with written or spoken English. The goal of the program is to help students transition into a general education classroom at high levels of social and academic English proficiency. The program provides support to help students succeed in academic subjects and learn English. The classes count toward graduation requirements.
