State Resource Page for English Learners. 50-State Comparison: English Learner Policies
Education Commission of the States
The population of English learners (ELs) in K-12 schools continues to grow. Between the 2009-10 and 2014-15 school years, the percentage of English learners increased in over half of the states, and in 2017, English learners made up 10.1% of the total student population. Research suggests that in their transition to English, non-native speakers fall behind academically, which can intensify the longer a student remains in an English learner program. State education leaders are mindful of this and have implemented policies to identify, serve and reclassify English learners as they become proficient. Many states include English learner guidebooks and other resources on their state education websites. This resource lists webpages that are dedicated EL resource pages for each state education agency, where available.
