  1. It will be interesting to see the results of your research. ELL students have a disadvantage already and it will be useful to all school to find some interventions that would make them successful.

  2. Your plan looks thorough. You have many steps in the process that will give you valuable insight. I read some of your current blog entries and it is an interesting topic that is very useful but original. Good luck and know that this will be shared with my neighboring campuses with high ELL populations.
