Innovating the Educational Paradigm for the 5MM

English Learners are the fastest growing population of public school students nationwide: across urban and rural school districts and a wide array of home languages.  We have an extraordinary opportunity to build and strengthen educational and professional development strategies for underserved and under-resourced English learner students and their teachers. Join us as we rethink classrooms to center language as an asset and build educational programs for English Learners that transform and enhance learning for all students.
