The Montgomery County Board of Education has selected the Center for Applied Linguistics, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit, to engage a stakeholder commission and evaluate current MCPS practices, with the aim of improving engagement and achievement of Emergent Multilingual Learners (EML) students in the English Language Development program, and Latino/Hispanic students in various programs across the system.
These programs include, but are not limited to, English Language Development, Two-Way Immersion, Students with Limited or Interrupted Formal Education, the Career Readiness Education Academy, and other innovative language programs that have been implemented at the school level.
