      abstract = {"In spite of decades of school reform, the achievement gap  between English learners and English-proficient students  has narrowed little. This book introduces a Reform  Sustainability Framework that focuses on the examination of  fundamental school structures required to ensure English  learner success while guiding the school leader in handling  the reform terrain deftly. This reform-navigation tool  identifies patterns and trends in the deployment of a  reform and subsequently allows leaders to make necessary  adjustments to extend, accelerate, or terminate a given  reform. Bridging the English Learner Achievement Gap offers  a compelling, research-grounded way for schools with an  English learner population to successfully educate their  students. Book Features: Highlights the leadership  challenge of meeting the academic needs of English Learners  ; Introduces a step-by-step process for educators at any  level to ensure reform sustainability ; Examines the  processes, tools, and structures needed to anchor  successful school reform."--Publisher's website.},
