Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander backgrounds. The program is designed to ensure that LEP children
master English and meet the same rigorous standards for academic achievement that all children are
expected to meet. Funds may support the study of Native American languages.
Projects may include teacher training, curriculum development, and evaluation and assessment
to support the core program of student instruction and parent-community participation. Student
instruction may comprise preschool, elementary, secondary, and postsecondary levels or combinations
of these levels.
