Educators in New York State are zeroing in on a major challenge to the academic growth of English learners (EL students): Typically only 2 to 3 percent of EL students’ class time involves engaging in productive listening, speaking, reading, or writing in English for academic subject matter learning. In this latest R&D Alert article, learn about a network of districts that have expanded responsibility for EL students’ success by using data to improve their learning outcomes.
Educator preparation programs are seeking new and better ways to use data to improve their curricula, align with district needs, and prepare high-quality teachers and administrators. This new book addresses data use as a way to determine programmatic strengths and weaknesses and inform continuous improvement.
