Shift Focus to English Language Learners – San Diego, California

Tagged: ,

“Latinos are now the largest subgroup in San Diego County’s public elementary and secondary schools. With this reality has come a belated concentration on meeting the needs of Latino students, with precious little data offering proven strategies for success.

Latino students are not necessarily the same as English Language Learner students, but there is great overlap. While many Latinos are fluent in English and some ELL students’ primary language is other than Spanish, Spanish-speaking ELL students last year made up nearly 87 percent of all ELL students county-wide, according to the San Diego County Office of Education.”
