English Learners are one of the nation's fastest growing student populations, comprising 7% of all K-12 students nationwide. In this two-part, interactive presentation, WestEd's Robert Linquanti and Linda Carstens, recognized experts in the field, will share tools and strategies district and site leadership teams can use to evaluate practices and systematically improve outcomes for EL students.

In this first session, led by Robert Linquanti, participants will learn about setting district-wide goals, monitoring English learners' expected linguistic and academic progress, analyzing and interpreting assessment results, and prioritizing professional development efforts to more effectively support and accelerate EL students.
