As schools across the United States serve growing numbers of multilingual learners, a new report co-authored by Dr. Francesca López, Dr. Chris Saldaña, and Dr. Lucrecia Santibañez (UCLA) points to two factors that can help improve student outcomes: stronger educator preparation and funding systems that closely reflect student needs. The report, “Multilingual Learners Learning English: What Can California Learn From Other States?,” compares multilingual learner policies in California, Texas, and Indiana. The study was produced as part of "Getting Down to Facts III," part of a Stanford University initiative designed to inform California's education policy.

A new book edited by ELPA alumnus Dr. George Theoharis (PhD '04) and Dr. John Rogers (UCLA) was recently released by Beacon Press. Additionally, Dr. Mollie McQuillan, Dr. Kevin Lawrence Henry Jr., and Dean Marcelle Haddix contributed to chapters in the book. Titled “Educating in Dangerous Times: A Call to Reenvision Public School in America,” the book argues that a new and virulent strain of education politics is arising in this era and asks a central question: How should we reenvision public schools and collectively create the public schools we need?  Read more using the ELPA News link in our bio! #ThisIsELPA #ELPAExcellence #UWSoE #EducationalPolicy #K12Schools #Research #Author #2026reads #EducationBooks #ReadingCommunity #BookCommunity An announcement with a headline in white text that reads, "UW–Madison alumnus, School of Education scholars reenvision public schools in new book."

Congratulations to ELPA doctoral students Xinyu Guan and Ghipsel Cibrian López, who were selected as EdFund State School Finance Fellows! The State School Finance Fellowship is a highly selective, cohort-based program for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars interested in the intersection of education finance research and policy. Participants join a national community of emerging scholars while exploring topics such as school funding systems, policy reform, data analysis, and research communication. Guan will join the Fall 2026 cohort. Her research focuses on K-12 school finance, resource allocation, and state-level education policy, aligning closely with the fellowship’s mission of strengthening connections between rigorous research and the funding decisions that shape educational opportunities for students across the country. López, who will join the Winter 2027 cohort, examines the ways policy, organizations, and resource distribution influence educational opportunities. Through the fellowship, she looks forward to further developing her research agenda and exploring questions related to economic, political, and social change within and across school districts.
