For more than a decade, the work of SPML (formerly known as ELAC) has been characterized by dedication to supporting multilingual learners (MLs). What began as a focused initiative has blossomed into a dynamic force for change, responding to the landscape of ML student needs.

For the 2024-26 term, SPML is prioritizing the ongoing efforts of the ELD Recognition Award and MTSS teams while also launching new subcommittees.
