From the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education:
English Learners Data Dashboard
The purpose of the EL Data Dashboard (DART for EL) is to consolidate state data on English Learners into a single tool. Data is provided at both public and secure levels, so some data may not be available without credentials. Districts can use this tool to understand their own EL student population’s demographics, progress, and outcomes, as well as to compare with similar districts and the state.
(Please note that districts are listed alphabetically and when you click on the link it automatically shows data for Abington. To search for a district either scroll through the list or type the name of the district into the Search bar.)
The Next Generation ESL Toolkit
The ESL Toolkit provides a common entry point for educators to learn about Next Generation ESL (NGESL) instruction in Massachusetts. It includes connections to relevant guidance, tools, and resources educators at all different points in their journey can use to develop a deeper understanding and ability to implement high-quality ESL instruction. The ESL Toolkit was developed as part of the Next Generation ESL Curriculum and Instructional Support, building on a strong foundation of previous initiatives and projects defining the type of learning experiences English learners deserve and supports for educators to bring these to life.
English Learner Education Vision & Blueprint
The Blueprint for English Learner Success provides educators with steps that can be taken at the classroom, school, district, and state levels to achieve the Massachusetts Vision for English Learner Education, and the Interactive Blueprint is an online tool to assist districts in supporting the success of ELs.
