Who We Are and What We Do
Working with the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) and the Bureau of Special Education (BSE) PaTTAN provides a full array of professional development and technical assistance targeted to improving student results. Our specialized and focused work on the EL Initiative is to ensure English Learners with dis/abilities receive appropriate, asset-based supports to maximize their academic achievement and language acquisition. We provide technical support and training for schools to ensure they have culturally and linguistically responsive practices in place to identify needs, address disparities, improve access to equitable services, and produce better outcomes for Multilingual Learners.
