Abstract
The term “English learners (ELs)” refers to the student population defined in section 8101(20) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. As of the fall of 2021 ELs represent approximately 11% of the total student enrollment in U.S. K–12 public schools. Providing ELs with opportunities to meaningfully participate in all aspects of education is critical in addressing broader equity goals.
