The ELPS Linguistic Instructional Alignment Guide (LIAG)

The ELPS Linguistic Instructional Alignment Guide (LIAG) was developed by the Education Service Center, Region 20, in conjunction with the Texas Education Agency. The purpose of this resource is to support teachers as they identify the essential components for providing K-12 instruction aligned with English learners’ (ELs’) linguistic needs.
