Alaska: ELL Resources
As of 2019, Alaska’s schools were home to more than 15,000 English language learners. Currently, more than 40% of the state’s multilingual students are Alaska Native. In recent years, the most common five languages spoken by ELLs in Alaska were Yupik, Spanish, Filipino, Inupiaq, and Samoan. (U.S. Dept. of Education, National Center for Education Statistics)
Alaska is a member of WIDA (World-Class Instructional Design and Assessment), joining in 2011. WIDA is a consortium of states dedicated to the design and implementation of high standards and equitable educational opportunities for English language learners.
