Indiana ranks 3rd in the nation for percentage rate growth in English Language Learner (ELL) students over the past 10 years. ELL students enter Indiana classrooms with limited English proficiency and may also lack literacy in their native language or have limited formal schooling. This segment will outline the requirements for serving English language learners in the mainstream classroom, describe the process for providing English language development services, offer suggestions for increasing teacher collaboration, and identify resources for professional development.
