Abstract
As school demographics change and schools face teacher shortages, ELL students are put at an
even higher risk of not being provided services and instructional accommodations they need to
be successful. Therefore, the purpose of this capstone is to examine the research question of how
teachers and parents can advocate for students to reduce academic, linguistic, and social
struggles. In this capstone, the research literature supports the need for more teacher training,
stronger advocacy at both the micro and macro level, as well as heightened school-home
relationships to ensure success. A professional development was created to support Ell student
success, while ensuring students receive services and high-quality instruction. It is important to
note that teachers face barriers such as teacher shortage, lack of materials, as well as a lack of
qualified ELL teachers to effectively educate ELL students. However, through strong advocacy
from both school and home, students who otherwise struggle can met and surpass their language
and content level goals. This capstone calls for stronger ELL teacher preparation programs, an
increase in the amount of PD specifically for ELL students, as well as instruction for teachers
and parents regarding micro, macro and transformative advocacy
