| Description |
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. |
