Resource Needs for English Learners: Getting Down to Policy Recommendations (PDF) | More Publications »
A new UC LMRI Policy Report by Patricia Gándara, Julie Maxwell-Jolly, and Russell W. Rumberger. This document is an extension of the report Resource Needs for California’s English Learners, and is the result of deliberations from several informal meetings and two formal convenings of major stakeholders in the area of English Learner education. Its intent is to suggest a series of policy options, based on data examined in the initial report, that the state might want to consider to strengthen the educational offerings provided to California’s linguistic minority students.
