OELA Documents Archive
The documents on this page were originally created by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of English Language Acquisition. These documents were downloaded from the National Clearinghouse for English Language Acquisition (NCELA) in January 2025, and we are posting them here to ensure continued access for educators. In an effort to preserve and provide access to an archive of this valuable work, OBEWL presents these documents as they were originally published. There are a variety of Briefs and Toolkits that established best practices for educating English Language Learners.
