English Learners

— filed under:

The needs of students classified as English language learners are specific and important. Especially in the state of California where English learners make up a significant portion of the student population, the need to provide the educational tools and support for this segment of young people is imperative. Studies and reports have shown that English learners have a disproportionate incidence of poor achievement in schools and lower graduation rates, in addition to inadequate attention paid to their circumstances. Education advocates have noted that efforts to adjust schooling for those learning English, particularly as it relates to preserving methods of bilingual education, have proved effective for improving achievement for English language learners.
