Bilingual and EL Education

The Bilingual and English Learner program at 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 their bright futures. In the 2015-16 school
 
year, there were approximately 48,000 English learners in Wisconsin.
