In its report titled “Overlooked & Underserved,” the Urban Institute found that high, sustained levels of immigration over the course of the past three decades have had a significant impact on the needs of students in our nation’s schools. What are the needs of immigrant and limited English students in our schools today? What is the value of competency-based learning in their instruction? And how can teachers support English language acquisition for multilingual learners?   In this episode, Kevin discusses English acquisition among immigrant students with ENL specialist, Donna Neary.
