Who are ELs?
English Learners comprise a highly diverse group of students who bring with them valuable cultural and linguistic assets, including their home languages.
Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)
(Section 8101(20))
The term “English learner,” when used with respect to an individual, means
an individual —
(A) who is aged 3 through 21;
(B) who is enrolled or preparing to enroll in an elementary school or secondary school;
(C)(i) who was not born in the United States or whose native language is a language other than English;
(ii)(I) who is a Native American or Alaska Native, or a native resident of the outlying areas; and
(II) who comes from an environment where a language other than English has had a significant impact on the individual's level of English language proficiency; or
(iii) who is migratory, whose native language is a language other than English, and who comes from an environment where a language other than English is dominant; and
(D) whose difficulties in speaking, reading, writing, or understanding the English language may be sufficient to deny the individual —
(i) the ability to meet the challenging State academic standards;
(ii) the ability to successfully achieve in classrooms where the language of instruction is English; or
(iii) the opportunity to participate fully in society.

We believe:
Linguistically and culturally diverse learners bring a unique set of assets that have the potential to enrich the experiences of all learners and educators.
Educators have the power to recognize and unleash the potential that language learners bring to their learning community.
