Tracking ELLs

  • NCLB required tracking of ELLs for 2 years after exit
  • ESSA extends this to 4 years post exit
  • What about after 4 years?
  • In addition, ESSA requires tracking the percentage of

ELLs who have not become proficient by five years after placement/identification

SLIDE 4

Coding of ELL Students

  • Current ELLs as well as monitored (M1, M2)
  • We also track students who are beyond monitored, former ELLs (F)
  • Student rosters going back over 20 years allow us to build databases

with history of student enrollment (e.g, for “former” ELLs, what their 1st

  • r last program?)
  • Count years of ELL participation
  • Also track retentions

ELL student exits by grade

  • Most exits occur in grades 3 to 5
  • Grades 3-7 saw declines, and these are the ones

where STAAR accomodations coding affected results

K6 and K9 Cohorts: Definition

  • Start with students coded as ELL in kindergarten
  • Check their status 6 or 9 years later
  • Are they still ELL?

Students are ELL in KG in 2010-2011 Students who are still enrolled in 2016-2017 K6 Cohort Students are ELL in KG in 2007-2008 Students who are still enrolled in 2016-2017 K9 Cohort

K6 and K9 Cohorts: Results

  • Roughly 45-50% of ELLs have not exited by grade 6,

and 20-25% have not exited by grade 9

  • ELLs who do not exit by grade 6 have weaker scores in

TELPAS writing and especially reading
