In partnership with WVIZ/PBS ideastream, REL Midwest created a 30-minute, documentary-style public television program that presents the research on academic supports for English learners (ELs). Stories from the Cleveland Metropolitan School District's Multilingual Multicultural Education Program connect the research evidence to practice by highlighting real students, teachers, and school and district leaders. At the in-person screening, REL Midwest previewed the upcoming broadcast for attendees and hosted a facilitated discussion with attendees and experts featured in the program.
