This report argues that students who are immigrants and/or “English language learners” (ELLs) often exhibit strengths that monolingual, non-immigrant children may not have and that policymakers should view as important assets for individual learners and their communities.
Bridging the worlds of research, practice, and policy, we investigate student-centered approaches to improve outcomes for learners from all backgrounds.
Every student has distinct interests and ways they feel engaged when learning. We give teachers and school leaders the tools they need to create thriving learner-centered classrooms.
