Executive Educator, v9 n1 p14-17 Jan 1987

About 2.5 million immigrant students in US schools between the ages of 5 and 14 have limited English proficiency. Ways of meeting these students' educational and social needs are outlined with examples from schools having successful special programs. The importance of being flexible and looking for alternatives as well as identifying the student's individual educational needs are stressed. (MD)
