Title:

English Language Learners and High School Reform Conference Proceedings

Description:

The first national meeting, Integrating English Language Learners in High School Reform, held in Miami, Florida on October 20-22, 2003, was conducted in collaboration with the Educational Policy Leadership Institute of the Educational Testing Service, the National Council of La Raza, and the National High School Alliance. This report contains summaries of the presentations, and summarizes key findings and recommendations offered during presentations, panels, and consultation and planning sessions at this national meeting. All summaries are based on transcripts of the presentations and handouts made available by the presenters. The meeting focus was to converge the parallel conversations about high school reform and English language learners that have been occurring in states, districts, and policy organizations throughout the country and to provide recommendations for action by state education agencies to enhance school and district efforts in implementing school improvement. The following topics were addressed at the meeting: academic literacy development, professional development for both secondary ESL and content area teachers, data-based decision making, parent and community involvement at the high school level, state and district approaches to reforming high schools, school approaches that foster ELL achievement, and high school reform models that build ELL-responsive environments.
