This policy report focuses on the tensions and dilemmas surrounding one of the most common milestones used for defining and measuring English Learners’ progress: their redesignation or reclassification from limited to fluent English proficient. The report recommends a number of strategies to improve the current situation. Its ultimate aim is to stimulate reflection and discussion about options for building a more coherent system to better ensure academic success for English learners and accountability for the programs that serve them.
