Main Idea

Students who are still learning a school’s primary language should have additional support and services provided to them. These supports and services help them to engage fully in the educational environment. These supports and services should be both academic and linguistic, and they should include all relevant stakeholders. These supports and services should be delivered by a qualified professional who meets basic requirements and who has been trained in supporting this special population. The rule includes guidelines as to what qualifies someone to teach in Indiana and what additional qual fications are needed to support multilingual learners.
