English Learners and COVID-19

- Covid-19 guidance aligned with the EL Policy Handbook
Bilingual and English Learner Program
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction supports school districts in educating students who are English learners (EL). We believe in the assets our bilingual students bring to school and work with districts to honor those assets while preparing students for future education and the workplace.
We host an annual Title III and Bilingual-Bicultural Fall Meeting. Check back for updates in summer 2020.
