If DeVos Scraps the Federal Office for ELLs, Would It Matter?
June 20, 2018 by Corey Mitchell
OELA provides guidance on policy decisions, handles grants that help prepare educators to work with ELLs, and invests in and distributes research through the National Clearinghouse for English Language Acquisition. If those services are scaled down, state ELL offices can't fill the gaps, Miller said.
Kim Miller, Oregon's director of English-learner programs and the president of the National Council of State Title III directors, fears the latest move would "lead to the demise of the office completely."
"Would we lose our researchers, best practices, and professional development?" she asked. "If we don't have [that], these children could fall through the cracks."
