Sheltered classes are regular content specific courses offered to English language learners. A "sheltered" content course incorporates second language acquisition instruction, quality teaching and support systems to communicate meaning in the content area. These courses are taught based on student need by teachers certified in those content areas. The courses cover all mandated essential elements with priority placed on modifying the methods and materials for instruction of second language learners.
