Join us on May 8-9, 2023, in the nation’s capital for the first in a series of new annual conferences jointly hosted by two federally-funded research centers created to study how to improve education for English Learners and produce actionable findings.
The Center for the Success of English Learners and the National Research and Development Center to Improve Education for Secondary English Learners – both funded by the Institute of Education Sciences – invite you to attend “Improving instruction, assessment, and policies for secondary English Learners across the content areas.”
The joint conference, held at George Washington University, is intended for teacher educators, teachers, district and state English Learner program administrators and others playing key roles in the field, including policymakers and researchers.
Confirmed speakers include: Mark Schneider, director, IES, Kenji Hakuta (History and Policy), Stanford University, Guillermo Solano-Flores (Assessment and Student Learning), Stanford University, Amanda Kibler (Teaching and Instruction), Oregon State University, and Jennifer O’Day (Organizational Change and Professional Development), AIR, with opening remarks from Dean Michael Feuer, George Washington University.
This is an opportunity to:
Learn ways in which teacher education, curriculum, instruction, assessment, course taking, and policies can be dramatically improved so that secondary English Learners succeed in all content areas
Hear directly from leading researchers and experts in the field
Network across research, policy, and instructional roles to share best practices
Make a difference in the learning and the lives of children who need support to simultaneously learn subject matter content and practices, and the English necessary to communicate them.
We expect that the joint conference will nurture critically needed awareness of research-based findings, as well as the tools and processes available to ensure that English Learners are offered quality opportunities to learn and realize their potential.

One of the rare online games that has gained popularity so quickly and naturally is Wordle. What began as a simple personal project has become a daily ritual for millions of gamers worldwide. Unlike many modern games that are overrun with commercials, endless prizes, and complex gameplay, Wordle achieved popularity via simplicity. Only one puzzle. Six guesses. Five characters. That was all it took for it to become a cultural phenomenon.
Basketball Stars' user-friendly control scheme is one of its key characteristics. Players on mobile devices execute movements like moving, leaping, and firing using touch gestures or virtual buttons. Beginners may easily grasp the controls, but more competitive players will find the sports game Basketball Stars more complex due to the time and accuracy required to make flawless shots or blocks.
Wat een belangrijk en noodzakelijk congres! Het is cruciaal dat we de onderwijsbehoeften van Engelstalige nieuwkomers serieus nemen, vooral in het secundair onderwijs. Ik hoop dat dit evenement leidt tot concrete acties en innovatieve benaderingen. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan hoe technologie kan helpen bij gepersonaliseerd leren, net zoals tools als Image to Animation nieuwe creatieve mogelijkheden bieden. Ik wens de organisatoren veel succes!
