Education for English Learners with Limited, Interrupted, or No Education at ALL
Founded on a research study regarding underschooled English Learners in secondary school, this presentation will bring to light the reality we face in schools today. In recent years, secondary schools in the United States are seeing a surge of Latin American English Learners with limited, interrupted, or no education at all. Our school districts' current educational policies do not offer a path to prepare these students for the workforce. State leaders, district administrators, and classroom teachers need to be aware of this trend to provide educational services that meet the specific needs of these students. These students are the future of our nation.
