Nebraska’s EL Mission
"To lead and support academic language learning so that English Learners have meaningful access to high-quality instruction that will prepare them for learning, earning, and living."
Honoring and Celebrating Multilingual Learners
The NDE honors students’ language abilities as an asset and values the many languages Multilingual learners bring to enrich classrooms in Nebraska. Using the term ML (multilingual learners) emphasizes the importance of respecting home language as students are simultaneously learning English in Nebraska schools. In addition to the term ML (multilingual learner), EL (English learner) is the term used in Federal and State policy.
