S10/E9: An overview of the history of ELs in education policy with Ellevation co-founder Teddy Rice

What are some key rulings during the history of EL policy and their impact on education equity and access? What challenges are multilingual students currently facing in education and how have policies helped overcome or exacerbate them? How can we better advocate for ELs in policy and legislation? We discuss this question and more with Ellevation co-founder, President, and in-house policy wonk, Teddy Rice.  In addition to being Ellevation’s President and co-founder, Rice also happens to be our in-house policy-wonk. One of his favorite parts of his job is to facilitate a session for new Ellevation employees he calls EL Policy and Market Landscape. It has been a highlight of the onboarding process for new hires ever since Ellevation was founded over 10 years ago.  Recognizing the value of the information he shares in this session, we have attempted to share some key elements in this interview.
