The mission of the Los Angeles Unified School District's Office of SEL Programs/AEMP, which is a part of the Language Acquisition Branch, is to assure equity in access to rigorous standards-based, college preparatory, curricula for Standard English Learners, English Learners, and other underperforming students in the Los Angeles Unified School District. The work of the office is comprehensive and research-based and is an important component of the Superintendent's "Theory of Action" intended to eliminate disparities in educational outcomes for historically underachieving students. This office supports implementation of the district's Action Plan and other Initiatives for moving all students to levels of proficiency plus. The Office of SEL Programs/AEMP provides direct support to Academic English Mastery Program schools through ongoing, comprehensive professional development and training for administrators, teachers, coaches, parents and other support staff relative to meeting the cultural, linguistic, and academic needs of students and eliminating achievement and proficiency gaps.
