Northwest Sampler

On the following pages we profile several Northwest schools where teachers are working to improve the achievement of their English language learner students*. We profile schools with higher and lower percentages of ELL students, and schools in both rural and more urban areas, to show how strategies are used in different contexts. Although we do not have data on the success of these efforts, we provide these examples to show how schools are meeting the challenge of No Child Left Behind.
