No Child Left BehindState Assessment Systems
State assessment systems must produce results disaggregated by gender, major racial and ethnic groups, English proficiency, migrant status, and disability.

No Child Left BehindAdequate Yearly Progress
States must specify annual objectives to measure progress of schools and districts to ensure that all groups of students-including low-income students, students from major racial and ethnic groups, students with disabilities, and students with limited English proficiency-reach proficiency within 12 years.

“ If you said to me what is the most important thing about standards and testing, I would say the information it gives us about informing instruction.”

“ Well I also think there’s a lot of adjustment on the part of the ELL department, meaning the whole body of teachers out there where you’ve had a model that has said it’s OK to disappear for half an hour a day with this little group of students and do your thing. Now you really cannot do that without some accountability.”

“ I think the mainstream focus is also on the ELL learner rather than just have them be a separate entity and have the ELL Director worry about them. Now the principal of the school has to think, these kids are also being tested and their results go into the whole school results for the whole accountability purpose.”

Who are the LEP/IEP students?
• Special population of Limited English Proficient students who also have disabilities
• Total estimate is 357,325 for 2002-2003
• The project focuses on three language groups of ELLs with disabilities, Spanish, Hmong, and Somalia

Project Purpose
• To investigate ways that English Language Learners with disabilities can participate meaningfully in, and benefit from, standards-based instruction
• To promote effective practice for successful participation of ELL students with disabilities by improving the alignment of instructional interventions for these students

Main Project Research Questions
1. What instructional practices do educators (ESL/Bilingual education teachers, special education teachers and general teachers), ELLs with disabilities and their parents, recommend for delivering grade-level, standards-based instruction to ELLs with disabilities in general settings?
2. What are the effects of recommended instructional practices on the performance of ELLs with disabilities in general education settings?

Phase 2
• Focuses on the identification of appropriate instructional strategies for ELLs with disabilities using educators who are currently working with these students as a resource
• Uses the Multi Attribute Consensus Building Process (MACB) to enable teachers to more objectively and neutrally generate and evaluate ideas about instructional strategies they used in educating ELLs with disabilities
![Page 31: National Center on Educational Outcomes N C E O Research-based Teaching Strategies to Increase LEP/IEP Student Achievement March 20, 2004 Ann Clapper and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649cfb5503460f949cd01c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

E ODefinition of a strategy
A purposeful activity to engage learners in acquiring new behaviors or knowledge. To be useful for our purposes, an instructional strategy should have clearly defined steps or a clear description of what the teacher does.

Stage one
• Staff researched the literature and selected five recommended instructional strategies as a starting point for teacher to discuss and generate additional strategies they would recommend

Initial Glossary
• At first, initial glossary was provided about the selected strategies from the literature
• Later, the teachers generated additional strategies that they have used which were added to the list
• Participants were asked to weight all of the strategies by content areas such as math, science, or reading
• Had them do survey about feasibility and use of strategies

won’t do it. Teacher should make my child do work.
• My child talks a lot, teacher should remind her to stop talking and do work.

Phase 3 Results indicated
• The voices of Hmong parents have never been heard before nor have they been successful sought out.
• Hmong parents do share the same concerns about their children’s education as mainstream parents despite cultural and linguistic barriers.
• Hmong parents are in tune and aware of the struggles of seeking an equitable education for their children with disabilities.
• Most importantly, they care deeply for their children’s education despite their children’s disabilities and desire to work with educators to improve their children’s life chances.

Project Summary
Phase 1: Analyzed statewide assessment data for ELLs with disabilities and found that they scored lowest of all students, indicating the need for this study to continue.
Phase 2: Conducted focused brainstorming sessions with groups of teachers to determine recommended teaching strategies most preferred and used, and created a list of strategies for three content areas, math, science and reading.

Project Summary
Phase 3: Conducted parent group interviews to gain their perceptions on recommended strategies and found that parents thought the strategies used in the study of phase 3 would work well in teaching their children. This finding reveals that ELL parents have a lot to say about the education of their children and want to share them.
