Title: New Guide To Help States Commonly Define English-Learners
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2013/08/new_guide_for_states_on_how_to.html New Guide To Help States Commonly Define English-Learners By Lesli A. Maxwell August 30, 2013 With a just-released set of recommendations from the Council of Chief State School Officers to help guide them, most states are now set to embark on an effort to bring much more uniformity to identifying who English-learners are and when those students are no longer in need of language instruction. The goal is to move all states to a more consistent playing field over the next two years. Doing so would upend current practice, which for decades has had states and local school districts using very different approaches to identifying ELLs and reclassifying them as fluent. It would also lead, experts say, to much more comparability among states and districts for how well they are serving this growing population of students. "If we can move states toward more coherence around English-learners, that is only going to improve services for these students," said Robert Linquanti, a senior research associate at WestEd, a San Francisco-based research organization, and a co-author of the CCSSO policy recommendations.

Title: Texas Study Finds ELL Students Face “Triple Segregation”
Body: From http://latinoedbeat.org/2013/08/23/texas-study-finds-ell-students-face-triple-segregation Texas Study Finds ELL Students Face “Triple Segregation” by Katherine Leal Unmuth August 23, 2013 In Texas, poor Hispanic children who are English language learners often attend intensely segregated schools, a new study has found. Such children face “triple segregation” because they are isolated by virtue of their ethnicity, socioeconomic background and language skills. The trend is found in both urban and suburban settings. Education professors Julian Vasquez Heilig and Jennifer Jellison Holme from the University of Texas at Austin examined 2011 demographic data from the Texas Education Agency to make their findings in their study, “Nearly 50 Years Post-Jim Crow: Persisting and Expansive School Segregation for African American, Latina/o and ELL Students in Texas.” …[T]he study found a bright spot. Majority-ELL elementary schools were more likely to earn the state’s top ranking of “exemplary” than to be rated low-performing. The researchers found 72 “exemplary” and 15 low-performing majority-ELL elementary schools in Texas, noting that “the state should be applauded for these numbers.” However, the researchers cautioned that those same children tend to go on to attend low-performing middle and high schools. And ELLs have very high dropout rates in Texas. Read the full article at http://latinoedbeat.org/2013/08/23/texas-study-finds-ell-students-face-triple-segregation
