Title: New ELL Advocacy Organization
Body: Announcing The Institute for Language and Education Policy Research-Based Advocacy for Schools and Communities Dear Colleague: You are invited to join with us in building a new organization dedicated to promoting research-based policies in serving English-language and heritage-language learners. We believe this mission has never been more critical. In a time of misguided accountability measures, high-stakes testing, cutbacks in school funding, and English-only activism, strong advocacy for children is essential. Scientific knowledge about what works not ideology or political expedience must guide public policy. Our goals are ambitious: - Encourage and disseminate research on education policy and practice. - Educate the public and policymakers about the benefits of bilingual and heritage-language education for individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. - Represent the needs of English language learners as Congress moves to reauthorize and, we hope, reform the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. - Support grassroots efforts by local and professional organizations to secure adequate resources for quality language programs at all levels. - Combat English-only legislation that threatens to restrict the rights and educational prospects of language-minority Americans. - Create professional development opportunities for educational practitioners. Our immediate plans include launching a Web site to advance this agenda; producing research briefs on timely issues; working with news media to elevate the level of public discussion; developing a national network of expert-advocates; and seeking funding that will be needed to achieve our goals.
