The Workshop on the Role of Language in School Learning: Implications for Closing the Achievement Gap was held to explore three questions: What is known about the conditions that affect language development? What are the effects of early language development on school achievement? What instructional approaches help students meet school demands for language and reading comprehension? Of particular interest was the degree to which group differences in school achievement might be attributed to language differences, and whether language-related instruction might help to close gaps in achievement by helping students cope with language-intensive subject matter especially after the 3rd grade. The workshop provided a forum for researchers and practitioners to review and discuss relevant research findings from varied perspectives. The disciplines and professions represented included: language development, child development, cognitive psychology, linguistics, reading, educationally disadvantaged student populations, literacy in content areas (math, science, social studies), and teacher education. The aim of the meeting was not to reach consensus or provide recommendations, but rather to offer expert insight into the issues that surround the study of language, academic learning, and achievement gaps, and to gather varied viewpoints on what available research findings might imply for future research and practice. This book summarizes and synthesizes two days of workshop presentations and discussion.

The issue of an achievement gap among English Language Learner (ELL) students and their barriers to success has been demonstrated in research. The collaboration of the school, families, and the community to help support students has also been researched a great deal. The ability of the school counselor to use school, family, and community partnerships in order to combat the barriers to success and thus narrow the achievement gap of ELL students is the main purpose of this project. The development of collaboration meetings bringing families of ELL students and community organizations to the school to work with the school counselors and learn about programs and information the school offers is another aspect. Additionally, ways the community can help ELL families get involved, and voice their opinions and concerns about their children’s education as well as aid in the transitioning process to a potentially new culture are the ways in which this project would support ELL students.

"The book makes a contribution to the education of English language learners. It provides practical instructional suggestions for teachers of both ELLs and SELs that are informed by a deep understanding of theories of second language and second dialect acquisition and the development of reading and writing proficiencies." —Guadalupe Valdés, Professor of Education Stanford University "The concepts of gaps and bridges are clearly articulated up front and provide a well-structured theme that unites the various parts of the text. The use of this structure provides a logical and coherent mechanism for providing a complete picture of the problem—the literacy gap between ELs and native speakers—and a means for addressing this problem." —Kristina Anstrom, Senior Research Scientist The George Washington University Center for Equity and Excellence in Education Build bridges of support so English language learners can learn alongside their peers! English language learners (ELLs) and standard English learners (SELs) face multiple gaps as they strive to achieve, so educators need to take a holistic, comprehensive approach to bridge those gaps and meet the needs of ELLs and SELs in the classroom. Based on an original, well-researched framework, this much-needed resource provides practical strategies for supporting learning and success for ELLs. The authors provide strategies, examples, and classroom tools to address: The gap between students and texts: covering word recognition, background knowledge, comprehension, and academic language development The gap between students and teachers: including socio-cultural differences between teachers and students, and teacher perceptions and expectations The gap between students and their peers: discussing language proficiency differences, grouping strategies, and grade-level and schoolwide programs The Literacy Gaps helps educators give ELLs the skills they need to close the most important gap of all: the achievement gap.

This comprehensive volume describes evidence-based strategies for supporting English language learners (ELLs) by promoting meaningful communication and language use across the curriculum. Leading experts explain how and why learning is different for ELLs and pinpoint specific best practices for the classroom, illustrated with vivid examples. Particular attention is given to ways in which learning English is intertwined with learning the student's home language. The book addresses both assessment and instruction for typically developing ELLs and those with language disabilities and disorders. It demonstrates how educators and speech–language professionals can draw on students' linguistic, cognitive, sociocultural, and family resources to help close the achievement gap.

Research shows that most English language learning (ELL) students score below their peers academically and more often struggle socially and emotionally. Education laws require that all students receive an equal and high-quality education, and yet data shows that outcomes are far from equal. The school library has a unique place within the school and can provide opportunities for ELL students in closing the achievement gap and social and emotional acceptance. The school library can impact ELLs in three specific areas: access to appropriate materials, research-based instruction, and highly qualified and trained educators. The result of this project is a professional development training that works to inform teachers of the resources and opportunities available for ELL students and their teachers from the school library. Understanding of the inequities faced by ELL students and how the school library can be a part of the solution can inspire teachers to use available resources. This dedication to student success can help to close the achievement gap.

"Four Things Every Principal Should Know about English language Learners by Pérsida and William Himmele is an important and timely book. By targeting school administrators, the authors recognize the critical role that principals and other school leaders play in setting up and maintaining successful school programs for ELLs. Throughout the book principals will find helpful charts and surveys that can be used by teachers to assess or revise the current program, or to provide help in grouping for instruction. This book is manageable for busy principals, highlighting just four important points to consider regarding instruction for ELLs. Each chapter concludes with a concise summary ("In a Nutshell") that readers can use to help them reflect on what was covered in the text. The authors also offer excellent suggestions for further reading to build on the ideas presented.As school classrooms continue to evolve to include a more diverse population, Four Things Every Principal Should Know about English Language Learners will provide an important resource to school leaders as they continue to seek ways to create successful programs to help bridge a persistent achievement gap among ELLs."Rose CappelliPresident- elect, Keystone State Reading AssociationCo-author of Mentor Texts, Nonfiction Mentor Texts, and Poetry Mentor Texts.
