National Institute for Latino School Leaders Memorandums

Abstract

The National Institute for Latino School Leaders (NILSL) is a program designed to bridge the divide between practice and policy by providing school leaders the tools they need to advocate for policies and reform efforts that render increased educational outcomes for Latino and English language learner (ELL) students and educate decision-makers and influence national policy. NILSL fellows discuss their recommendations for reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and the Higher Education Act in the form of a policy memo which include policy recommendations on various topics including accountability, college- and career-ready standards, teacher prep, parental engagement, and school climate/culture.
