Stanford’s Gardner Center, in collaboration with the Stanford-Sequoia K-12 Research Collaborative, has influenced California’s multilingual learner policies through a decade of research. Findings reveal systemic barriers in reclassifying English learners, impacting nearly 17% of public school students. Recommendations from this research are informing legislative proposals like Assembly Bill 2555.

These efforts address critical equity issues in education, exemplifying Stanford’s commitment to policy impact and community engagement.
