Students of immigrants are not just part of the future—they are shaping it right now. 📚✨

In Texas, English learners and children of immigrants make up a rapidly growing share of the student population, reflecting a nationwide shift toward greater diversity in classrooms. 🌎

While many schools face challenges like underfunding and teacher shortages, research shows that these students bring valuable linguistic and cultural strengths that can support long-term academic and economic growth. 🧠💬 In fact, investing in equitable education could significantly strengthen the U.S. economy in the future.

Across Texas, educators are continuing to push for better outcomes by recognizing these strengths and improving classroom support for multilingual learners. 🏫💛

DACA changes do not affect a student’s right to attend K–12 public school in the U.S. 📚

The McKinney-Vento Act ensures students can enroll right away even without documents like proof of residency or ID, helping them stay in school during unstable housing situations 🏫🧾

Progress in school starts with support that truly meets students where they are. 📊✨

A report from the U.S. Department of Education highlights that many states are not meeting academic targets for English learners in reading and mathematics. This points to a deeper issue—when systems aren’t designed with multilingual learners in mind, students are often expected to meet standards without the necessary resources or support.

Success for English learners goes beyond testing outcomes. It requires intentional instruction, access to language development, and policies that recognize the strengths bilingual students bring into the classroom. When schools invest in these areas, they create pathways for students to thrive academically and linguistically. 🌎💛

Over the past decade, English-learner enrollment in K-12 schools has increased by more than 100 percent in 11 states. While the number of ELL students is on the rise, the quality of education those students receive may not be keeping pace.
