Department of Education June 6, 2007 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Secretary of Education (Secretary) seeks recommendations on developing a Framework for States to consider in examining the quality of their standards and assessments for English language proficiency (ELP) under Title III of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). The Framework, once developed, will be provided to States for their use in evaluating their ELP standards and assessments. The Framework also will help States identify their technical assistance needs related to ELP standards and assessments and, therefore, help the U.S. Department of Education (Department) provide States with the assistance they need to implement the Title III standards and assessment requirements effectively.
