This document records testimony regarding the Department of Education's slow pace in providing States the assistance they require to implement No Child Left Behind's provisions for English Language Learners (ELLs) and the status of recent efforts to correct that; practices for training teachers of ELL students and for improving their academic achievement; and from a bilingual public school in Washington D.C.. The chairman expressed hope that the hearing would help members better understand which issues require better implementation of No Child Left Behind and which might be addressed by changes to the law itself, particularly with regard to testing.
