On December 18, 2019, Oregon State University and the Oregon Department of Education hosted the ODE/OSU English Language Learner Partnership Research Symposium at the OSU Portland Center. Presenters shared a set of six policy briefs, all of which are available via the Symposium website. The policy briefs address the following topics:
- Better understanding outcomes for multilingual students
- Timeframes for students to attain English proficiency and exit EL services
- Access to core content for secondary ELs
- Newcomers in Oregon schools
- Exploring disproportionality in special education for ELs
- Family engagement for EL students with disabilities
To share findings with the widest audience possible, Partnership members will also present the policy briefs in two upcoming webinars:
- Webinar #1: Better Understanding Opportunities and Outcomes for Multilingual Students, Tues. Feb. 4, 12-1 PM
- Webinar #2: Meeting the Needs of All Multilingual Students: Research on Newcomers and ELs with Disabilities, Mon. Feb. 10, 12-1 PM
