Perspectives on Policy and Practice: How to Create a Superintendents’ Leadership Council That Assures Equity for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students in an Era of Educational Reform
 The number of language minority students in New England's school districts has grown over the past two decades and continues to grow rapidly. The number of language-minority students who require language and educational services is also increasing. Historically, most school district superintendents have left issues affecting ELL children to their districts' bilingual education specialists. However, with the increase in ELL learners it became clear that proactive involvement by superintendents was critical to assuring the policy emphasis, resources and community support required for success.
This Perspectives piece shows how to create a quality Superintendent's Leadership Council that is dedicated to improving the education of ELLs and addressing equity issues confronting language and cultural minority children and their families.
