| Title | New Report: Putting English Language Learners on the Educational Map |
| Body | From http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/newsline/archives/2007/06/_limited_englis.htm New Report: Putting English Language Learners on the Educational Map: The No Child Left Behind Act Implemented By Clemencia Cosentino de Cohen and Beatriz Chu Clewell The Urban Institute May 2007 Part of its series of reports designed to expand knowledge about young immigrant populations and to document how the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) affects the education of English language learner (ELL) and limited English proficient (LEP) students, this Urban Institute policy brief addresses the question: has NCLB improved education for ELLs as schools have become accountable for these students' performance? The brief presents an overview of the ELL population's demographic profile, and suggests that while implementation of NCLB in high-LEP schools has resulted in some problems for ELL students' education, the net effect of the law has been positive. The brief discusses the implications of the findings and gives recommendations for strengthening the potentially positive effects of NCLB on the education of ELL students. The brief also looks ahead to the reauthorization of NCLB and the implications of expanding the law.
