English Language Learners (ELLs)/Multilingual Learners (MLs)

NYSED believes that all teachers are teachers of English Language Learners (ELLs) and Multilingual Learners (MLs). As such, it must be ensured that all students’ individual educational paths and socio-emotional needs are met in multiple languages, leading them to college and career readiness¹.
