Tool Search: English Learners (EL)
The English Learners (EL) tool allows schools and districts to manage student EL programs, assessments, services, and accommodations. The tool provides a central location for managing EL information, such as the date the student was identified as EL, when the student entered/exited an EL program, when the student is expected to leave an EL program, and First Year/Second Year Monitoring data. For students who exited and/or re-entered an EL program, a historical record is kept and displayed on the tab, which can be viewed in both State and District Editions of Infinite Campus.
Some EL fields are specific to your state. All other fields in the EL tool do not require unique, state-specific data. However, many of these fields are required, and data entry is necessary. See the English Learners (EL) article for more information on these fields.
