The Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) Office of Intervention Services announces the completion of a new resource for supporting English Learners (EL), Supports for English Learner Students with Limited or Inconsistent/Interrupted Formal Education (SLIFE).
The resource is the result of work from the MDE’s Refugee Working Group. The group is made up of educators from around the state who have dedicated time and efforts to research and help develop this resource to better support EL students. This resource provides educators with strategies for identifying, screening, and supporting SLIFE students.
For questions regarding this or other supports for English Learners, contact Sandy Elliott at selliott@mdek12.org.
