Better Policy for Dual Language Learners was written by Conor P. Williams for New America and released in February 2015. It is the result of a convening of leading experts on dual language learners that took place in December 2014. The experts discussed these three questions: (1) What are the key best practices for dual language learner instruction, policy, and research?; (2) What are the areas of substantive agreement on best practices? How can we convert this into meaningful policy reform?; (3) Are there areas where dual language learner stakeholders substantively disagree to such a degree that it impeded progress?

This brief summarizes the convening event and synthesizes the core messages from the discussions that took place there.
