ESL Vacancies Are Among the Hardest to Fill. Your Students Shouldnโ€™t Have To Wait.

The number of English language learners in U.S. public schools keeps rising, but qualified ESL teachers aren’t keeping pace. The National Center for Education Statistics reports ESL among the hardest-to-fill positions for 2024-25, with 59% of elementary and 69% of high schools struggling to hire. Every unfilled ESL position puts students further behind across all subjects.
