Title III English Learners | Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Title III English Learners Title III English Learners "There is no equality of treatment merely by providing students with the same facilities, textbooks, teachers, and curriculum; for students who do not understand English are effectively foreclosed from any meaningful education." - Lau v.
Nichols (1974) A Lau plan is an equal access plan that protects ELs.
The plan describes what a school district will do: to design an effective program reflective of their needs to employ appropriate English-as-a-second-language or bilingual personnel (or both), to align the instruction of ELs to state and local content standards to provide ongoing authentic assessments to ascertain their growth in English language proficiency and in the comprehension of academic content.
A Lau plan is a "working document" that should be revisited frequently. Essential components of a Lau plan include the legal foundation, student assessments, an instructional plan, parental involvement, qualified personnel, a coordination plan, a budget, adjunct services, and other possible considerations.
