AANHPI English Learners Project
AANHPI English Learner Project
In partnership with UCLA’s Institute for Immigration, Globalization and Education, APIA Scholars will investigate how AANHPI students in California who are English Learners (ELs) have been included or excluded from EL services.
The English Learner Project is supported by the Sobrato Family Foundation.
Research on English Learners
This project will result in a landscape analysis of current EL programs and practices across the state of California and policy recommendations that provide guidance to state and local policymakers for how EL supports could more intentionally serve the growing population of AAPI students across the state.
APIA Scholars aims to understand the ways in which other states might be able to better meet the diverse needs of AANHPIs, the fastest growing racial group in the country.
AANHPI English Learners: A Focus on California
While California has made notable progress in EL student support, such as implementation of the California English Learner Roadmap policy and State Seal of Biliteracy, more work needs to be done to be more inclusive of a diverse EL student population generally.
Understanding the Experiences of AANHPI English Learners
Findings from the 2022 APIA Scholars Annual Survey
By improving data collection and reporting practices through data disaggregation, policymakers and educators will be better equipped to understand the intersectionality of AANHPI student identities, identify and address student challenges, and support the success of AANHPI English Learners.
