Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) - English Learner Education
The purpose of this website is to provide important information and links to resources that support educators in providing equitable instruction and services to English Learners (ELs). Divisions across the Commonwealth of Virginia serve over 105,000 ELs, who speak over 240 languages, and come from a variety of learning and cultural backgrounds. These students bring a unique set of assets that have the potential to enrich the experiences of all learners and educators. The VDOE works for the embodiment of an asset-based approach to education ELs that honors their primary languages, background knowledge, and experiences.
