Sierra Sun, by Kyle Magin
The School’s Center for Applied Policy in Education is analyzing data from the Tahoe Truckee School District’s English language learners, seeking to examine whether there is an achievement gap between non-native English speakers and their native counterparts in public schools. Their initial results indicate that English language learners who are continually enrolled over a period of three years tend to excel more than those who are transient.
