Abstract	Over the last two decades, a rising number of families with preschool age children speak a language other than English at home (Espinosa, 2010). Known as Dual Language Learners, or DLLs, they are likely to enter kindergarten already academically behind. This gap persists throughout high school, resulting in vastly different academic and life outcomes between DLLs and their peers (Beltran, 2016; Espinosa, 2013; Gandara et al., 2003). The early years present a pivotal time to interrupt this achievement gap. The research described below shines light on the potential of culturally and linguistically responsive practices and meaningful family engagement as powerful levers to enhance quality early learning experiences for DLLs. [This three-part series shares findings from a research collaboration between the John W. Gardner Center for Youth and Their Communities at Stanford University and Early Childhood Language Development Institute (ECLDI), a program of the San Mateo County Office of Education. For the other two briefs in this series, see ED594176 and ED594178.] (As Provided).
