Professor Chiu hopes also to improve English Language family engagement, teacher quality, student achievement in English language arts, as well as achieve increased language proficiency in Spanish and English. 

The second study aims to increase the English language ability of educators. This should improve family engagement, teacher quality and student achievement in literacy and English language learning. 

The results of both studies will be used to advocate for policy changes.
