WEBINAR: Covering the Education of English Learners Amid Federal Policy Shifts
More than 5 million students in the U.S. are classified as English learners. The federal government has long supported states and districts in their efforts to help these students reach English proficiency, but a series of actions this year raise questions about the role the federal government will play going forward. Hosted by the Education Writers Association, this webinar will explore the legal obligations schools have to English learners, how education leaders are responding, the implications for students, and what developments reporters should track going forward.
