Title III, Part A - Language Instruction for English Learners and Immigrant Students
Title III is a federally funded program which provides eligible Local Education Agencies (LEAs) with subgrants to provide supplemental services for ELs (English Learners). English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) is a state funded instructional program for eligible English Learners (ELs) in grades K-12. Both ESOL and Title III hold students accountable for progress in English language proficiency and evidence of attainment of English language proficiency sufficient to exit ESOL services. A portion of Title III funds are used to pay a ESOL Coordinator (75%) who delivers professional learning to the ESOL teachers and regular education teachers of ELs to ensure they meet these challenging standards. The remainder of the funds support the 500+ EL population with supplemental materials and services. |
