| Bilingual Education | English as a New Language (ENL) | Languages other than English (LOTE) |
| Through the development of effective biliteracy programs, schools and stakeholders will support students to attain superlative academic achievement. | While bilingual classes at the beginning level exist and are effective, large public ESL programs with diverse student populations usually start at the very beginning – in English. | “With a global economy and with global marketplaces, folks understand, parents understand, that multi-literacy is almost as important as literacy itself" |
