=Who are the English Language Learners in ﻿our New York State Secondary Classrooms?=

Whether they are called Limited English Proficient (LEP) or by the current term English Language Learners (ELLs or LEP/ELLs), New York secondary public school classrooms are rich with students from many diverse cultures. In Kingston High School alone, there are students from Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, China, India, Yemen, Pakistan, Uruguay, Dominican Republic and that's just in the English as a Second Language population! There are also students from Thailand, Jamaica, Puerto Rico and Italy who are not in ESL.

How do we best serve these students so that they will be successful and meet the same standards that are expected of all students in New York State?
