• Interested in participating in a pilot of the IndianaILP system? Email vbeard@doe.in.gov.
IDOE Updates: Dual Language Immersion Grants

“Dual language is by design a systemic intervention that
accelerates learning and closes the achievement gap for those
who are most vulnerable in an English-only system.”
- Collier & Thomas
IDOE Updates: CoMP
• Nationwide, 43 states have opted to offer this recognition. Indiana has 64 schools currently implementing the Certificate of Multilingual Proficiency (CoMP).
• Year-end report will be sent out at the beginning of June.
• Schools interested in participating can find out more on the IDOE CoMP page or by reaching out to Nicole Leach at nleach@doe.in.gov.

The IDOE values your expertise and would like Hoosier EL educators to help develop a literacy framework, a standards-based tool to support achievement. We are seeking motivated EL educators who have at least 3 years of teaching experience at their current grade level and have experience creating formative assessments. The date for this work group is Thursday, June 21st. Please complete this form if interested and able to attend. Contact Nicole Leach at nleach@doe.in.gov if you have any questions.
