Educator Resources

Kansas teachers can find helpful resources to support English Learners (ELs) through English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) programs. These tools include ESOL program guidance, Kansas English Language Proficiency (KELP) Standards, KELPA testing information, and professional development for educators. The goal is to make sure every English learner gets the support they need to build English language skills and succeed in school.
