INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
In this episode of the ASSETS Podcast, Dr. Jobi Lawrence sits down with Dr. Margaret Marcus, Executive Director of the Sullivan Family Charitable Foundation, and Dr. Conor Williams, researcher and writer focused on educational equity, school diversity, and public policy, to explore the future of multilingual education in the United States.
Together, they discuss how expanding access to high-quality dual language programs can help bridge achievement gaps, strengthen educational equity, and prepare students for success in an increasingly interconnected world. Drawing on research, policy, and practice, the conversation examines the academic, social, and economic benefits of multilingualism, the barriers that limit access to dual language opportunities, and the investments needed to scale these programs nationwide.
Whether you are an educator, school leader, policymaker, or advocate, this episode offers valuable insights into why multilingual education is not simply a language initiative, but a powerful strategy for empowering students, strengthening communities, and creating more inclusive schools for all learners.
