ELLevation's Highest Aspirations strives to engage in important conversations about the most rapidly growing student demographic in the United States - English Language Learners. Interviewers speak with educators and students, researchers and policy makers, and parents and community members about how we can help all students reach their highest aspirations.

In a recent episode (https://anchor.fm/highest-aspirations/episodes/S2E7-Back-to-Basics-Isnt-Boring-With-Jana-Echevarria-e3c9fl/a-ab86do), Jana Echevarria discusses these questions: "How might a back to basics approach help EL educators ground themselves in practices that can provide the most impact for the students they serve? What are some of the pitfalls of constantly searching for 'the next new thing' and how can we avoid them? How might we help bridge the gap between research and practice when vetting, implementing, and assessing educational tools and practices?"
