District admins, school admins, and teachers can mark any manually added students as an 'ELL' student in the TalkingPoints web. This data will then be populated into their analytics dashboards so they can also see the breakdown of engagement by student type. See the following instructions for how to update ELL status in student detail screen below both individually and on a mass scale.
**Please note that when manually adding a student, you can mark them as ELL upon filling out their profile.
