Focus on English-Language Learners
April 13, 2011
There’s room for all of you, and for everything you experience—the grim and the glorious, the wounded, wounding, healing and healed.

"More than one in ten of all preK-12 students in the U.S. — totaling over 5.3 million children — are English Language Learners, yet common assumptions about this fast-growing population are often incorrect. The majority of young ELLs are not immigrants: over 75 percent of ELL elementary students were born in the U.S. Although the largest ELL groups are in California, Texas, New York, Florida, and Arizona, ELLs are growing presences throughout the country, with the fastest growing ELL populations in South Carolina, Indiana, Nevada, Arkansas, North Carolina, Virginia, and Delaware. And many of America’s schools are not yet able to serve these millions of students effectively."

This report did a lot to draw attention to the astounding service gap that exists in our country right now. This is not just a call for funders - but for every person involved with the care and teaching of young children. There's no excuse for falling short on meeting the language needs of each and every child that comes to us!
