From the Vision: English learners are taught by effective, well-prepared, and culturally responsive educators who hold them to high standards and have the materials and professional learning they need to advance students' academic and linguistic development simultaneously.
The Department relentlessly communicates the importance of holding ELs to the same high expectations as their non-EL peers and invites regular conversation with stakeholders to advance instruction for ELs.
The Department shares examples of supports and scaffolds for ELs that cultivate their academic and social language through regular, complex academic discourse.
