Topics

English Learners in STEM Subjects: Transforming Classrooms, Schools, and Lives recognizes that ELs comprise a diverse and multitalented pool of learners, yet these students continue to be underrepresented and lack access to rigorous STEM learning opportunities. The report showcases the interconnectedness of language and content area learning and identifies factors that affect ELs' opportunities to engage in rigorous, grade-appropriate STEM learning. The report recommends steps that policy makers, district and school leaders, and educators can take to increase this access and to support ELs' engagement and success in these subjects.
