MATSOL English Learner Leadership Council (MELLC)

The MATSOL English Learner Leadership Council is a group of directors and coordinators of PK-12 English Learner education programs in Massachusetts. 

The group meets four times during the school year, and communicates by a private MATSOL E-List. The agendas for MELLC meetings are collaboratively agreed upon by members and include topics such as advocacy, compliance, and civil rights; curriculum and instruction; special education/Response To Intervention (RTI) and ELE; screening and placement; parent involvement; technology and ELL education; and issues specific to low incidence/high incidence districts. Meetings include presentations by guest speakers and experts in the field as well as time for discussion and networking with other MELLC members.
