Educating English Language Learners (ELLs) in Rhode Island
Promising Practices in the Education of English Language Learners
The Rhode Island Department of Education invites districts, schools, and teachers to participate in the Promising Practices in the Education of English Language Learners Initiative. This Initiative is designed to recognize the many efforts in which Rhode Island’s public school educators are engaged to ensure that its English Language Learners will have the opportunities and the resources to succeed in school and beyond and to disseminate these practices to a wider audience.
