Students identified as English Learners are sometimes placed in courses that do not match their academic potential due to challenges in scheduling processes. The Elevating Access in Master Scheduling E-Series is designed to help school and district teams use master scheduling as a tool to support English Learners’ participation in grade-level coursework, language development programs, and graduation pathways.

​

This four-part professional learning series provides practical strategies to improve scheduling systems, enhance registration conversations, and align staffing and course offerings with student needs. It is intended for counselors, school staff, principals, and district or local education agency administrators.
