In the ever-evolving landscape of U.S. public schools, multilingual learners (MLs) are the fastest-growing demographic. These students, with their rich linguistic and cultural backgrounds, bring unique perspectives and strengths to the classroom. However, our education system often falls short in providing the necessary support for these students to thrive.

Our latest report, “Toward Inclusivity: Advancing Social and Emotional Learning for Multilingual Learners,” created in collaboration with the NoVo Foundation, offers a deep dive into the research, systems, and practices needed to implement effective approaches to social and emotional learning for MLs. This comprehensive guide is designed for educators, administrators, and policymakers dedicated to fostering inclusive and equitable learning environments.
