Limited English Proficient - Curriculum and Assessment Information
PDF Files Require Acrobat Reader | Download
Under the rules and regulations of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), states are required to ensure that all children, including English language learners (ELLs), have the opportunity to attain a high-quality education, to develop high levels of academic competence in English, and to reach proficiency on challenging state academic achievement assessments. Limited English Proficient (LEP) students are expected to meet the same challenging academic standards that all students are expected to meet. To these ends, states establish English language proficiency standards and measure student achievement toward these standards through the annual administration of an English language proficiency assessment (ELPA) and through state academic content assessments.
Meeting the challenging academic needs of our English language learners is a priority for the Arkansas Department of Education. We have established this Web page to post LEP curriculum and assessment information that is important to educators, students, and families in Arkansas. Check this site on a regular basis for updates and new information.
