To build effective and equitable English Learner supports and services across entire states, where should system-level leaders start? Research Director Molly Faulkner-Bond with the Region 15 Comprehensive Center describes why states must shift from a monolingual to a #Multilingual education framework. Here are some key insights: 📍 Whether we are looking at systems change, or classroom change, it matters how we position this work. The traditional K–12 orientation in this country around ‘monolingualism’ has disadvantaged non-English native speakers. It has positioned them as having a deficit that needs to be overcome." 📍 "By broadening and deepening lesson planning and trajectory planning to include what we know multilingual students need and bring to the table, we open up new space to learn for all students." 📍 "Research tells us that walking into school with the ability to speak and think and interact in multiple languages is all the more reason why a student should, could, and would become high achieving, when surrounded by effective systems.” Read more: https://bit.ly/3WNA1hK Regional Comprehensive Centers 2, 13, 15 #EnglishLearners #Multilingualism
