  12. The North Carolina Perspective “The final, resounding message North Carolina sends is that we are all language teachers. Up-to-date, standards-based, data-driven approaches to initiatives are essential for accelerated academic language acquisition. English learners are members of our communities and schools, and we have profound ethical and legal responsibilities to ensure equity and equality for all students in our state….North Carolina is proud of its initiatives. We hold fast to the notion that public K-12 education is for all. As we continue to grow and change, we aim to hold ourselves to the highest of state and national standards for best-practices in English learner education.” (Lachance & Marino, 2012, p. 22) NABE Perspectives, (2012). 34(3).
