“There are languages people are loved in.” “Set educators up to win at their work.” “Leaders can’t lead what they don’t understand.” Literacy is “transferable and generational.” “Language of power.” “Ambassador of change.” “High stakes” 🙌 @weedentracy @SCOE

Having outcome data for long-term English learners (LTELs) would help districts and schools develop strategies to meet their needs. Nearly half of secondary ELs are LTELs: CA could paint a clearer picture of EL achievement if bill passes https://t.co/m6ozMV8ThP via @edsource
