The educational landscape is changing.
English language learners (ELL) in the U.S. now represent more than ten percent of the K–12 school population. As these students prepare to enter a workforce where manufacturing and industrial jobs continue to decrease, mastery of English, a high school diploma, and further education have become critical for success in the workplace. Mainstream teachers previously unfamiliar with the needs of ELLs are now faced with meeting the challenge of educating them.
Pearson offers a comprehensive continuum of K-20 support for educating ELLs and the teachers who work with them.

- Through core curriculum in textbooks and online
- Reference materials

- Technology-based solutions that provide universal access
For Educators: Pearson has brought together the best instructional practices for supporting classroom teachers by drawing on the years of publishing experience of Pearson Longman and the expertise of Jim Cummins and SIOP researchers Jana Echevarría, MaryEllen Vogt, and Deborah Short.
