Finding the Words: ELL Education in Vermont
We’re looking to reach lawmakers, rule-makers, and culture-makers on the topic of equitable education in VT for new Americans and English Language Learner students: this is an increasingly essential topic in our world, and in some ways VT is a very safe and welcoming place, but there is also little visibility for this topic. It’s not about changing minds; it’s about opening them.
