The Mississippi Department of Education honors and views language abilities as assets and values the many linguistic and cultural resources that our English learner students bring to the schools and classrooms of Mississippi.
Mississippi’s English Learner (EL) population is growing rapidly, with the state now serving more than 13,000 identified EL students. In response to this growth, as well as requests from districts new to serving EL students, we provide multiple resources for supporting English learners including: recorded webinars, guidance documents, and other resources designed to provide administrators, teachers, EL teachers and tutors, and other educators with information on how to effectively serve English learners and their families.
For questions regarding EL services please contact Jackie Ward at jward@leakesd.org
