New Report: Promoting ELL Parental Involvement: Challenges in Contested Times
By M. Beatriz Arias and Milagros Morillo-Campbell
Education Policy Research Unit and the Education and the Public Interest Center

This policy brief analyzes factors related to the implementation of effective parental involvement with English Language Learners (ELLs). Research supports the importance of parental involvement for improved student achievement, better school attendance, and reduced dropout rates regardless of socioeconomic background or ethnicity. Accordingly, and given the achievement gap between ELLs and English proficient students, it is important to identify practices that may improve ELL parental involvement and thus student achievement. This brief analyzes characteristics of the ELL student and parent population; barriers to ELL family engagement with schools; and characteristics of traditional and nontraditional parental involvement models.
