Multilingual Learner Project
The Multilingual Learner Project (MLP) was a partnership between the City College of New York and New Visions for Public Schools funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of English Language Acquisition. The program was designed to allow in-service, content-area high school teachers in New York City to obtain TESOL certification and onsite training and support focused on strengthening connections between school and home. REA’s research focused on investigating the implementation of training program and its influence on teachers’ practice and communication with families, and utilized a quasi-experimental design with matching to estimate program effects on students’ language development and progress toward graduation.
