Feedback Survey
There are approximately 1.392 million English Learners (ELs) throughout the state of California. Diverse in language and fluency, ELs have specific needs that relate to their contextual and cultural experiences. This workshop presentation will discuss how the English Learner Leadership & Legacy Initiative (ELLLI), a state wide advocacy group, uses research to advocate for English Learners. Participants will have an opportunity to brainstorm ways to advocate for ELs in their respective communities.
