English Language Learners
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.
