EL Requirements for all Title I-Funded Districts
When ESSA was passed in 2015 it shifted a significant number of requirements related to providing English language and academic services to students identified as English learners as defined in ESSA. In this webinar Dr. David Holbrook, NAELPA Executive Director, will review the statutory requirements in Title I related to providing services to English learners/multilingual learners (ELs/MLs). After his presentation, there will be a panel discussion with both state and district directors regarding how Title I can support ELs/MLs and the kinds of activities that are being encouraged at the state level and implemented at the district level.
