College of Education assistant professor Ilana Umansky is part of a team of researchers exploring how to improve educational opportunities, experiences and outcomes among secondary school-aged, English learner-classified students.
Umansky will work with colleagues from Oregon State University, the University of California, Los Angeles and the UO to examine English learners’ access to core curriculum in middle and high school and different ways to improve that access. Umansky, along with co-principal investigators Karen Thompson of OSU and Li Cai of UCLA, will conduct the research using data from four states.
