Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Building on an ecological/sociocultural perspective, presented in the first paper, this research symposium includes five studies that examine ways of creating coherent, equitable systems for Multilingual Learners in secondary schools. We include two studies that focus on educative curricula for the development of English Learners and teacher professional expertise in ELA and Math. The fourth paper presents an ecological view of assessment that crosses from the exo- to the meso- and micro-levels. The last two papers focus on the exo- and meso-levels by analyzing co-teaching and longitudinal student course-taking data. They both explore policy levers, and malleable factors impacting student access to quality education. A well-known and established scholar will serve as discussant for the suite of papers.
