English as a Second Language
English Learners
English learners are students with a primary or home language other than English. Schools that serve English learners offer a variety of supports to ensure that these students can meet the same challenging academic standards as their peers while also acquiring English.
The Maine Department of Education provides resources, guidance, and professional development to schools regarding language teaching and assessment, educational equity, state and federal policies, and many other related topics.
