PPS State Plans
Revised May 31, 2019 - The English Language Learner Local Plan 2017-19 provides guidance and direction to all Portland Public Schools (PPS) educators, our families and students regarding the options available for providing quality programs and services for our Emergent Bilinguals (EBs). It also articulates the expectations that the district holds for each school and classroom in the District. It offers a practical guide for all staff to ensure that consistent, coherent program and services are provided to every Emergent Bilingual. All PPS educators are expected to implement this plan, and we will hold each other accountable for doing so while continuously improving our services and outcomes.
We are grateful for all who have offered their time to shape this plan.
