*How many ELL children are in schools and what do we know about them?
*How long does it take for a student to become "English proficient"?
*What factors influence how quickly ELL students learn English?
*What school practices support ELL achievement?
*Is it important for ELL students to have support in their first language while they learn English?
*What can school districts do to help ELL students become English proficient and successful in school?
