Ask a Researcher

Ask a Researcher makes it easy for educators to get trusted, research-based answers to questions about real education challenges.

We collect questions from real educators who are looking for new ways to support students in their classrooms. The answers to those questions, developed in partnership with Usable Knowledge at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, can provide the first steps for using research to improve student learning.

How can school leaders model acceptance of bilingualism, and understand it as a right for students?
