It is highly problematic that with the potential of bilingual education teachers to help close the gap between ELs and their fully proficient peers (August & Shanahan, 2006; Collier & Thomas, 2017; Goldenberg, 2013; Thomas & Collier, 1997), only some SEAs offer bilingual credentialing and within these SEAs, credentialing requirements vary substantially.	cache/epaa-5279.pdf	txt/epaa-5279.txt
