Abstract
English Learners (ELs) are a large part of the shifting demographic in U.S. public schools. Yet, ELs continue to be impacted by gaps in achievement in accountability measures. This study will inform recommendations to Suburban School District to address disparities in achievement outcomes for ELs by examining how instructional leaders describe the successes they experience and the challenges they face in meeting the needs of ELs. By understanding these conditions, school districts can take action to create policy and policy tools to remove barriers of access, opportunity and achievement for ELs.
