Issues include: state plans (general provisions, development, content standards, yearly progress and LEP students, assessment, questions related to assessment, other provisions to support teaching and learning, and peer review and secretarial approval); development of local education agency plans; schoolwide programs (development of the plan, requirements, components of effective schoolwide programs in which LEP students are served, use of funds for these programs and the special rule for funding); Targeted Assistance Program schools (selecting participating students, methods for effectively serving them); assessment and school district and school improvement (local review, school improvement, district technical assistance to schools, state technical assistance to districts); state assistance for school support and improvement; parent involvement; and teacher professional development.
