Bill overview
This bill, the Supporting Providers of English Language Learning Act (SPELL Act), amends the Higher Education Act to provide additional loan forgiveness and cancellation opportunities for teachers who work with English learners, bilingual students, and dual language immersion students. Specifically, it expands the categories of teachers eligible for these benefits and requires certification demonstrating their knowledge and skills in the subjects their students are learning. The changes aim to support and incentivize educators in these critical roles.
