Directs the Secretary of Education to award grants to partnerships for teacher preparation to instruct English learners.
The Reaching English Learners Act amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to establish a grant program for eligible partnerships. These partnerships, consisting of institutions of higher education and high-need local educational agencies or early childhood education programs, will receive grants to improve teacher preparation. The grants aim to ensure teachers have the necessary skills to effectively instruct English learners, including meeting specific learning needs, recognizing social and emotional needs, and promoting engagement with parents and communities.
