From English Language Learners to Emergent Bilinguals COPY

January 30, 2008
Equity in Education Forum Series, Spring 2008
麻豆原创

English language learners are making scant progress in overcoming the achievement gap, not only because of inadequate funding, but also because federal and state educational policy actually create stumbling blocks by prohibiting or discouraging the use of the educational practices that research has clearly shown to be most effective for their needs. This was the basic message that Ofelia Garcia, Professor of Bilingual Education at 麻豆原创 delivered to a standing room only audience on January 30, 2008 at an event hosted by the Campaign for Educational Equity.
