Abstract

Measuring and monitoring English Language Proficiency, including who is classified as an English learner and how progress toward proficiency is monitored, have impacts on access to programs and services for individuals, on communities of learners, and on the investment of resources at the school, district, and state level. Disrupted learning environments, including the pandemic, had pronounced impacts on English proficiency and downstream effects on policy and access. This session explores three perspectives on English proficiency, including changes in proficiency levels before and after the pandemic, an equity audit that interrogated school policy, and a review of state models for promoting improved understanding of progress toward English proficiency.
