ESL program is what happens throughout the day and in the background of the student to make their educational experience exemplary and the ESL instruction is when the student is with the teacher being taught.

The difference between instruction and the program is simple: a program is the entire system while instruction is what ESL teachers do inside the classroom on a daily basis. The program is what will be taught to ELL students, while instruction is how the program is implemented.

An ESL program is the overall program that oversees the ELL students and makes sure they are getting  the education they deserve. They make sure the students are not discriminated on and are receiving the necessary instruction. ESL instruction is the physical learning that the ELL students undergo. Not only should they by learning English, they should be learning how to write English and how to apply their English to other classes.   - Kat Loych

The difference between the program verses instruction is that the program involves all of the aspects of learning for the ELL student. This includes the goals of English learning they are to reach and their over all growth.

An ESL program is different from ESL instruction because the program is the shell of the entire thing. The program is the outline with the specifics of what resources you will need, how they should be used and what you are trying to achieve. ESL instruction is what you do with the plan and how what the plan describes is implemented in the classroom and for the student. ESL instruction is also more involved and based around the ESL student rather than looking at the entire district like the ESL plan. (Alison Miller)

An ESL program is the overarching idea of what ESL includes. The program outlines the goals and materials for the program, as well as the overall services of the students. ELL instruction looks more at the inner part of ESL. This looks at the teaching of the student; how and where the student is taught, what materials are used to help the student, and resources the student may need in order to be successful. The ESL instruction also includes the educator who is involved. Overall, the instruction looks at how the student is being serviced each day. (Lauren K.)

An ESL program is a program in which a team of people from the district develop to look at the overall ELL content that will be used throughout the entire district. ESL instruction focuses on the more individual school or student and how the instruction is going to be implemented in efforts to help the students succeed.

The major difference between the ESL Program and ESL Instruction is that the program summarizes all of the components necessary for success including longterm goals, evaluations, instruction, staffing, and requirements. The instruction is a smaller portion of the program that works within the individualized plans for each student. It is the role the teacher plays in the student’s life. - Hannah Pietzsch

The ESL Program is the where the ESL instruction takes place. The program is kind of like a meal, its everything, the ESL instructions are like the meat and potatoes of the meal. The ESL Program is what happens to the ELL when they are in school. This is the identification and assessment, placement and many other things that will happen to an ELL. The ESL Instruction is what happens when the the ELL and ESL teacher interact. ESL Instruction can deal with what the ELL is learning in class, how they are being taught, and what assignments they are being given. - Joshua Miller

The difference between ESL Program and Instruction are based on the purpose of each. An ESL Program is all the components combined that make up included ESL in schools. This is from the implementation, assessments, evaluations, instruction, and communication. On the other side, ESL instruction includes the ESL certified educator and is the specified learning occurs. Basically, the day to day incorporation of English that takes place for ESL students. (Allyson Butz)

ESL program is where the instruction happens. There are multiple different options of programs. The programs have a bunch of things that they need to follow. They have state regulations and procedures. ESL Instruction is the actual learning taking place. The students in the ESL program all have individualized plans. These plans usually have a teacher that is specialized for them. They help the student learn, communicate, and make friends as a student.

ESL program refers to the program itself within the school. The program that all ESL students are in. It includes that the guidelines and requirements that are set forth by the state and OCR. ESL instruction is the learning itself for the students. It includes the individualized instruction for the student and the specialized teacher to help the student learn and advocate for this student. -Ashley Miller

An ESL Program is the literal program that ESL instruction occurs within. The program is comprised of procedures, structures, regulations, etc. to create and environment in which the ESL instruction takes place. The actual ESL instruction refers to what can be seen in the classroom every day. This is the learning, the lessons, the methods, and more that take place with the students within the structure of an ESL program.

# data[].attributes.body
ESL program looks at the entire spectrum while ESL instruction deals with the finer details. The smaller details include the course the teacher will be providing, who teaches the material, and how the material is being presented to the student. ESL instruction focuses on the teachers certifications, the higher education level of the instructor, and the students that will be receiving the information.

I think that the pizza metaphor is a good comprehensive way to understand this difference. An ESL program is the full range of techniques and components used by a school for teaching it's ESL students. These programs are outlined in the BEC for PA and the Office for Civil Rights website that we have read previously. The program is the whole pizza that encompasses all of these components. ESL instruction involves the individual pizza slices that comprise a program pizza. These slices represent the daily actions taken as part of a ESL program to actually help the student learn, communicate, and interact with fellow students.

An ESL Program envelops the overall implementation of an ESL curriculum within a school/district/department. The program includes the overarching responsibilities of the OCR, PDE, ESL teacher, Classroom teacher, and Paraprofessional.  ESL Instruction is much more specific about what happens between the ELL and the ESL Teacher. This includes, what is taught and who teaches it (along with their certification and role within the student's curriculum).

# data[].attributes.body
There is a difference between ELL Instruction and an ELL Program. An ELL Program is the structure in which ELL Instruction takes place. The program includes guidelines and requirements set forth but the Office of Civil Rights that districts must follow. These requirements include Identification, assessment and monitoring. ELL Instruction is the information that is being taught to an ELL. The teacher through ELL instruction serves as an advocate for the student and makes sure that the district is following the requirements set out by the OCR.

ESL programs seem to look at the overall big picture of the components of assessing the students, identifying needs, and evaluation of the students. The instruction seems to focus more on how the students are actually taught by the teachers and the curriculum that is used. The program seems to be an umbrella that the instruction falls under.

# data[].attributes.body
An ESL program seems to be looking at the big picture. It identifies the long term goals of the students, assesses their growth, identifies their needs, and what resources are needed to reach long term success. An ESL program does not dictate the everyday activities a student will complete and will not be evaluating a students day-to-day performance. These tasks fall more under ESL instruction
. Instruction is when the resources a student needs are used and steps are taken daily to reach long term and short term goals.

# data[].attributes.body
The difference between an ESL Program and ESL Instruction is that an ESL Program includes the components outlined by the OCR including identification, assessment, placement, management, and evaluation, where ESL Instruction is more of who the teachers are, how they are teaching, and what materials they are using. ESL Instruction also includes the degrees and certifications that the teachers have.

There is a difference between an ESL program and ESL instruction. The ESL program is the components that are required through law per PDE BEC 4.26. These components for example are educational approach, identificiation, assessment, etc.. Whereas instruction focuses on ELL when they are instructed by an ESL teacher. These teachers avodacte for ELL students and have the role of progessing ELL students. These teachers are certified
to support school districts in helping EL students. -Amber Doran

An ESL program is the entirety of the components outlined by the OCR along with the school district's individual additions to these outlines to allow EL students to use the same educational goals as non-ESL students. The components of an ESL program are: educational approach, identification, assessment, placement into ESL, staffing and resources, transition from ESL, monitoring, and program evaluation. ESL instruction is the role of the ESL teacher such as being an advocate to the parents or families of the ESL students, being a language instructor and cultural liaison for students and families, and a resource for the district and its classroom teachers.  This is a smaller component of the entire program as a whole. - Nick O'Shea

The biggest difference between an ESL Program and ESL Instruction is that an ESL Program looks at the bigger picture within an entire school district while ESL Instruction deals with who the ESL teachers are, what materials are being taught, and how the material is being taught. There are many different aspects that are involved with ESL Instruction, including degrees and certifications for the teachers and the idea that the ESL teacher is an advocate for the ELL students/families along with being a resource for regular education teachers/administrators. An ESL Program involves many different legal groups, including PDE, LEA, and OCR just to name a few!- Krystal Nolte

An ESL program is the summary of all components including identification, assessment, placement, management, and evaluation.
