Title: Report: Supporting English Learners through Technology: What Districts and Teachers Say about Digital Learning Resources for English Learners
Body:
From https://www2.ed.gov/rschstat/eval/title-iii/180414-dlr-results-in-brief.pdf
This Results in Brief describes findings from a national study of how districts and teachers are using Digital Learning Resources (DLRs) for instructing EL students. In addition, the study developed two toolkits for practitioners, one to inform educators about the range of DLRs that are available and considerations for using DLRs to support their EL students, and one to assist educational technology developers in improving the usefulness of DLRs for instructing EL students.

Title: Report: The Unintended Consequences for English Learners of Using the Four-Year Graduation Rate for School Accountability
Body:
The Unintended Consequences for English Learners of Using the Four-Year Graduation Rate for School Accountability
By Julie Sugarman
Migration Policy Institute
Summary: Under the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA), all states use the same formula, known as the adjusted cohort graduation rate, to calculate how many students graduate from high school within the standard four years. Because states are not required to report the number of students who graduate after five or more years, many state accountability systems do not give schools credit for these graduates.
The high stakes attached to the four-year graduation rate can have unanticipated and undesirable consequences for English Learners (ELs), as this report demonstrates, because these students are more likely than their peers to graduate after a fifth or sixth year. Among the most concerning: some high school administrators may turn away those who arrive as older teenagers, despite their eligibility to attend free public school, for fear that their enrollment could damage the school’s graduation rate. And while research shows the importance of giving ELs access to grade-appropriate content while they learn English, some schools may feel pushed to accelerate newcomers' learning to maintain a four-year graduation trajectory, even when an extended timeline and additional support might be a better fit.

Title: Learner Agency
Body:
From https://www.eschoolnews.com
We at CASLS believe that learner agency is a key component to gains in language proficiency as well as offering overall academic benefits. This recent article by Jennifer Davis Poon lays out four distinct components of student agency: setting advantageous goals, initiating action toward those goals, reflecting on and regulating progress toward those goals, and finally a belief in self-efficacy.
