A research team from the Stanford Graduate School of Education studied six U.S. high schools with strong college and career outcomes for ELLs. The report — Schools to Learn From: How Six High Schools Graduate English Language Learners College and Career Ready — was released by Understanding Language, a language and literacy initiative at Stanford GSE aimed at supporting educators shifting to the Common Core State Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards. It was funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

The researchers said all six schools hold a mindset of continuous improvement, responsibility is shared throughout these schools for students' success, and the schools cultivate positive respect for and pride in students' home cultures and languages.

The schools also implement design elements and institutional practices such as shared leadership, ongoing and intentional language and literacy assessment and multicultural and multilingual staffing.
