What the Research Does—and Does Not—Say About Teaching English Language Learners

In this presentation, Claude Goldenberg, Professor of Education at Stanford University, will summarize key findings of two major reviews of the research on educating English learners. These reviews represent the most concerted efforts to date to identify the best knowledge available and set the stage for renewed efforts to find effective approaches to help English learners succeed in school. Although there are numerous areas in which there is insufficient research to guide policy and practice, this webinar will provide guidelines based on the strongest research about effective practices for teaching English learners.
