Title:Building capacity to promote college- and career-readiness for secondary-level English language learners: Policy brief featuring Austin, Texas
Source:http://www.aypf.org/tripreports/2010/documents/...
Date:2010
Organization:American Youth Policy Forum (AYPF)
Short Description:This issue brief explores opportunities for educational systems to develop strategic policies and programs to enhance the success of adolescent second-language learners.
Annotation:This issue brief explores opportunities for educational systems to develop strategic policies and programs to enhance the success of adolescent second-language learners. The brief is based on an AYPF fact-finding trip to Austin, Texas in May, 2010 for state-level policy leaders. A previous AYPF trip to Texas’ Rio Grande Valley region in May, 2009, gave federal policymakers a chance to observe various educational models aimed at building biliteracy and increasing college- and career-readiness for ELLs; a separate brief on that trip is also available on the AYPF website (http://www.aypf.org).
