Multilingual Learners
California’s multilingual learners make up a significant share of the state’s students, yet their educational experiences and outcomes vary considerably across schools and communities. In this webinar, explore what Getting Down to Facts III research tells us about how California identifies and serves multilingual learners, the opportunities and barriers they encounter, and how policies and practices including those around reclassification and teacher certification can better support their learning and success.
