The mission of our non-profit Northern Region ENL PLC is to create an online and in-person space where professionals with a variety of expertise in ELL/MLL education come together voluntarily to promote a sense of camaraderie and belonging through a support system that shares ideas, collaborates and networks from a common understanding and respect they have for their field and for each other. The big news now is that ELLs will take a new/different annual assessment starting in February 2027 called ACCESS through WIDA.
