Through a review of literature, it was established that disproportional representation of ELLs is common, and can be ameliorated in part by comprehensive Response to Intervention (RtI) protocols and staff training. The researcher interviewed seven school psychologists in an urban, New England, school district, and found five themes in their sensemaking process. The researcher identified issues related to assessment and intervention, relationships with administrators, collaboration with teams, identity formation, and COVID-19 responses. Then, the researcher discussed ramifications for practice within this district and possible applications to other settings.http://hdl.handle.net/2047/D20399891
