Information is provided regarding state-level provisions for: (1) instructional programs for limited English proficient students; (2) English as a second language (ESL) and bilingual/dual language teacher certification or endorsement; and (3) funding instructional programs for LEP students. The findings are presented in summary tables and on a state-by-state basis. (EV) |
