The number of Dual Language Learners is growing fast — the real question is: *are your classrooms set up to support them?* ![SESEBA Flowchart-02](https://2413986.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/2413986/hubfs/SESEBA/SESEBA%20Flowchart-02.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=SESEBA%20Flowchart-02.png) Here’s where things start to break down. DLL students are often held to the same benchmarks — without the same access to language development. **That gap doesn’t fix itself.** ![SESEBA Flowchart-03](https://2413986.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/2413986/hubfs/SESEBA/SESEBA%20Flowchart-03.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=SESEBA%20Flowchart-03.png) And even when schools *know* what’s needed There usually isn’t enough specialized staff to support every classroom. So the responsibility falls on everyone — **ready or not.** ![SESEBA Flowchart-04](https://2413986.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/2413986/hubfs/SESEBA/SESEBA%20Flowchart-04.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=SESEBA%20Flowchart-04.png) When you focus on teacher–child interaction, you start to see real change.
