THE CHALLENGE

Teachers Lack Language-Focused Training and Tools

TOo Few are Certified

Only 20% of public school teachers are certified to teach the 4.6 million English learner students in public schools.*

Too Few Get Language-Focused Training and Tools

Only 24% of K-12 teachers reported receiving English learner-focused professional development over the last three years.*

Most Material Lacks Language Supports

Effective language development instruction is largely absent in ELA and math instructional materials for teachers.

Growing EL Population’s Academic Needs Unmet

As the English learner student population continues to grow, most teachers have or can expect to have an English learner student in their classroom.
