The obligation not to discriminate based on race, color, or national origin requires public schools to take affirmative steps to ensure that limited English proficient (LEP) students, now more commonly known as English Learner (EL) students or English Language Learners (ELLs), can meaningfully participate in educational programs and services, and to communicate information to LEP parents in a language they can understand. The following materials include information for students and parents, OCR guidance and resources for education officials about their obligations to EL students and LEP parents, and added resources with related information.

How Do I Save This as a PDF?

Google translates PDF files, but doesn't offer the ability to save the translated version again as a PDF. Luckily, you can use the print to PDF function, which works on most browsers. All you have to do is:

1. Open the print window on your browser, usually under "File."

2. Choose "Save as PDF."

3. Save the PDF to your chosen folder on your computer.

If you want to know exactly how to print the result page as a PDF on all popular web browsers, you can check out our guide on How to Save a Webpage as a PDF.

What Else Can I Do With This PDF?

That's when Smallpdf comes into play. We have 20+ useful tools for you to use to handle PDF files, all for free, including:

Converter - transform your translated PDFs into other formats

Protect - encrypt your PDFs with a password

Edit - annotate or add images, shapes, and drawings onto the translated file

Delete Pages - remove excess pages that you don't need from PDFs

Compress - reduce the size of PDF files

eSign - electronically sign your (translated) PDF contracts

Reader - to make reading PDF files as seamless as possible

It's pretty amazing how accessible and powerful Google translate has become, and how much smaller the world feels when you can translate PDF files directly from your computer screen in a split second. Do you need to translate a PDF to English, Japanese, or French? It's now a piece of cake!

Don't let this prevent you from actually learning another language, though!

A tool to help you meet students where they are in their language development

The Can Do Descriptors highlight what language learners can do at various stages of language development as they engage in the following contexts:

Bilingual and English-immersion early care and education programs

Bilingual, Spanish-immersion and English-immersion K-12 language programs

Bilingual, Spanish-immersion and English-immersion K-12 content-area classrooms

Similar to the WIDA English Language Development Standards Statements, the Can Do Descriptors describe what learners can do with language across different content areas. Although the Can Do Descriptors relate to the ELD Standards Statements, they don't replace them but are used to supplement the standards statements during instruction.

Educators and early childhood practitioners can use the Can Do Descriptors to

Better understand what students at different levels of language proficiency can do with language

Expand their understanding of what the process of language development can look like

Collaborate around scaffolding that students need to engage in content-area learning and develop language at the same time

Differentiate instruction and classroom assessment for language

Interpret ACCESS for ELLs test scores

The Can Do Descriptors have not yet been updated to reflect the 2020 Edition; however, they remain available as a valuable tool for communicating with stakeholders about what students can do at each language proficiency level. WIDA is monitoring educator use to help inform the timing for updating the materials.

OSEP Fast Facts: Students With Disabilities Who Are English Learners

By the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services

WASHINGTON (April 6, 2022) - The Office of Special Education Programs released an OSEP Fast Facts on students with disabilities who are English learners served under Part B of the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act.

The new OSEP Fast Facts highlights 1.6% of students enrolled in public elementary and secondary schools are dually identified as students with disabilities under IDEA Part B and an English learner. The OSEP Fast Facts also notes the number of students with disabilities who are English learners in the U.S. grew by almost 30% between the 2012 and 2020 school years, according to OSEP's blog.

OSEP Fast Facts is an ongoing effort to display data from the 12 data collections authorized under IDEA Section 618 into graphic, visual representations with the intent to present 618 data quickly and clearly.

U.S. Department of Education data show that English learners in grades K-12 in U.S. public schools in the 2015-16 school year numbered over five million students-about 10 percent of all enrolled students-and that roughly three-fourths of public school districts included students who are English learners. Many teachers, including those in small and rural districts, have one or more English learners in their classrooms-or soon will-and these teachers often use technology when instructing their English learners.

In other words, educators and technologists alike should be approaching EdTech with English learners' unique needs in mind. To help them do that, the U.S. Department of Education has developed toolkits that clarify what you should know, what you should ask, and what you should consider doing when it comes to using or building EdTech to support English learners.

The toolkit for educators offers five guiding principles for educators to apply in exploring new ways of working with and supporting their English learners through technology, starting with recognizing their students' unique needs and thinking through to the best technologies to help meet those needs.

The toolkit for EdTech developers provides guidance on the needs of English learners and their educators; supports to consider including with your product that may be especially useful for English learners; ways to communicate about products with districts and educators of English learners to facilitate adoption of your products; and the types of professional development and training activities that educators find most valuable.

Additionally, the U.S. Department of Education's Policy and Program Studies Service conducted a study on how districts and teachers support English learners through technology. The study collected data during the 2016─17 school year through a nationally representative survey of districts that enrolled English learners, a teacher survey that included both mainstream teachers and English learner specialists, and case studies of six districts to provide more in-depth information about district and teacher practices. Findings cover how districts and teachers identified digital learning resources (DLRs), how teachers used DLRs, supports for and barriers to DLR use, and suggestions for improving the usefulness of DLRs in instruction of English learners.
