ELA-S Teacher Stipend

The following are guidelines for the designation of ELA-S teaching positions in the English Language Acquisition Program (ELAP) effective September 1, 1999. For the purpose of identifying ELA-S teachers eligible for the ELA Program ELA-S stipend, the following will be considered:

  • ELA-S teachers include elementary ELA-S classroom teachers, elementary ESL teachers required to possess Spanish language skills, secondary teachers teaching science, social studies, or mathematics courses designated as ELA-S and one (1) high school or middle school counselor per program school;
  • The Director of the English Language Acquisition Program will designate the number of ELA-S classrooms in a school;
  • ELA-E, secondary teachers teaching only language arts or ESL courses, ELA-T (transition) and ELA-I teachers are not eligible to receive a stipend.

Designated ELA-S teachers must be fully qualified by October 1st of the stipend year to be eligible to receive the ELA Program stipend. Fully qualified ELA-S teachers are individuals who:

  • Hold a valid Colorado teaching license (Teachers with Emergency and Alternative Authorizations are not eligible);
  • Have passed the New Mexico Four Skills Test or Spanish Language Proficiency Exam; and
  • Have completed the 150 hours of ELA training or hold a State of Colorado Linguistically Different endorsement.

ELA-S teachers must continue to teach in a designated ELA-S position the succeeding year to be eligible for the stipend.

  • On completion of one full year of teaching in an ELA-S position a $500.00 stipend is to be received by November 1st of the following school year.
  • On completion of the second consecutive year and every year thereafter of teaching in an ELA-S position, an $800.00 stipend is to be received by November 1st of the following school year.
