Developing and Strengthening Programs and Services to meet the Needs of Long-Term English Learners
January 13, 2022 and February 10, 2022
It has been nearly ten years since Reparable Harm: Fulfilling the Unkept Promise of Educational Opportunity for California’s Long Term English Learners shed light on the needs of Long-Term English Learners and called on education leaders to provide solutions for these students. Californians Together continues its work with a new report focused on how schools and districts can best meet the needs of Long-Term English learners, which will be released June 2021. Using the new report as guidance, this institute will include an overview of what the data says about LTELs across California, a summary of research and key policy changes over the past ten years, findings from a landscape survey of districts across California, examples from districts with promising practices, and key policy recommendations for education leaders. The institute will provide templates and guidance in shaping inquiries into your own LTEL population, and will acquaint participants with resources for developing and strengthening programs and services.
Audience: District, County, and Site leaders
