Title III of NCLB requires that all ELLs receive quality instruction for learning both English and grade-level academic content. It allows local flexibility for choosing programs of instruction, while demanding greater accountability for ELLs' English language and academic progress. States are required to develop standards for English Language Proficiency and to link those standards to the state's Academic Content Standards. Schools must make sure that ELLs are part of their state's accountability system and that ELLs' academic progress is followed over time.
