ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS (ELL) KNOWLEDGEBASE In collaboration with the Region VII Comprehensive Center, (Illinois) Title VII program has developed a Knowledge Base linked to the following site. The purpose of this Knowledge Base is to help school districts meet compliance requirements of the Office for Civil Rights. It promotes effective education programs for English Language learners by providing samples of successful programs and promising practices. It also provides knowledge and resources necessary to "do the job" of running an (transitional bilingual education) program. The Knowledge Base will also locate the latest legal guidance, samples of policies and procedures, resources for classroom instruction, and links to other useful web sites.
