This session explores the cultural, linguistic, and academic dimensions of English Learners’ (ELs) intersectional identities stemming from a qualitative research project that uplifts the potential of diverse racial, ethnic, languages and other background characteristics. We present profiles of Superdiverse Adolescent ELs from two school districts that elucidate perspectives about their educational experiences as well as their hopes for belonging, access, and preparation for college and career. Engage in conversations with colleagues to deepen your knowledge of EL superdiversity through an equity leadership framework to design an educational system that builds on their assets to enhance their futures.
