When Californians Together released Reparable Harm: Fulfilling the Unkept Promise of Educational Opportunity for California&rsquo\;s Long Term English Learners ten years ago\, it was a call to action to address the needs of this student population. Since its release\, California school districts now have a clear definition of long-term English learners (LTELs) and students at risk of becoming LTELs and can identify them at the Local Educational Agency (LEA) and school level. Many have identified strategies to promote their achievement. However\, there is much more work to be done to ensure that our educational investments and accountability systems promote a strong vision for the achievement that our education system should foster and expect for these students. In June 2021\, the follow up report Renewing Our Promise: Research and Recommendations to Support California's Long-Term English Leaners was published. \; This institute will use the two reports as guidance\, will include an overview of what the data says about LTELs across California\, a summary of research and key policy changes over the past ten years\, findings from a landscape survey of districts across California\, examples from districts with promising practices\, and key policy recommendations for education leaders. \; The institute will provide templates and guidance in shaping inquiries into your own LTEL population\, and will acquaint participants with resources for developing and strengthening programs and services.Click Here for flyer.
