Abstract	This digest focuses on educators' collaborations among themselves and with parents in reforming schools to serve language minority students well. Examples are provided from the Program in Immigrant Education, a national program working to improve the education of immigrant students in secondary school. Specific attention is focused on the following: (1) the necessity of strong leadership in changing schools, and the importance of keeping language and culture on the reform agenda; (2) teacher inquiry and reflection, whereby teachers raise questions about students' success in school, gather and analyze data, and plan appropriate responses; (3) collaboration beyond the school, which includes collaborations with parents and the community; and (4) the change process, which is ongoing. (Contains 19 references.) (Author/VWL)
