A critical mass: Creating comprehensive services for dual language learners in Harrisonburg

Description:
Our paper examines how Harrisonburg's public schools have adapted to these changes and the myriad instructional programs, familial supports, and services they have implemented to better serve DLLs and their families. We visited four elementary schools in Harrisonburg and spoke with over 30 school district leaders, staff members, teachers, and community members to learn more about the city's creative approach to supporting DLLs' educational needs. We describe five key pillars of Harrisonburg's systemic approach to educating DLLs in order to provide guidance for other districts that have growing numbers of linguistically diverse students.
