For public schools in the United States, educating immigrant children can prove a challenge particularly at the high school level.

A program for 4-year-olds in California called transitional kindergarten (TK) has been found to have distinct advantages, in terms of long-terms effects, in ELs who attend.

The article discuses the relatively small percentage of students in U.S. gifted and talented education who are English-language learners (ELLs).

Of the roughly 15,000 students across Burbank schools, 61% of students speak only English at home; Spanish is the second ranking other language spoken, ranking below Armenian, and above Russian, Arabic, Tagalog, and Korean.

Schools that want to improve the educational prospects for ELs should take account of what's happening in their students' lives outside the classroom, according to a new report.

This is the third and final in a series of interviews with EL experts on the question, What is the role, if any, of an ELL student's home language in the classroom?

These findings are disturbing and much more work needs to be done to ensure that ELLs are getting the services they need to stay in school and to graduate, State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia said.

This Virginia public school with a high percentage of ELs and low-income students succeeds in remarkable ways, against all odds.
