📚 Did you know over 5 million students in U.S. public schools are multilingual learners of English? In Episode 1 of our series, we dive deep into the current state of English Language Programs across the country with Dr. Luis Javier Pentón Herrera — TESOL’s 2024 Teacher of the Year. Luis breaks down the facts: from how MLE students are located across states, to the languages they speak, and the huge challenges schools face in meeting their needs. 💡 What’s really holding back these programs? Funding, lack of resources, language barriers, and family engagement struggles — but there are also inspiring examples of schools innovating with technology, community partnerships, and family involvement to support success. Why does this matter? Because investing in multilingual learners isn’t just good for students — it’s a game-changer for communities, the economy, and the future of a diverse America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5vtZuY7C7Y
