History
Lau v. Nichols (1974)
U.S. Supreme Court
There is no equality of treatment
merely by providing students with
the same facilities, textbooks,
teachers and curriculum; for
students who do not understand
English are effectively foreclosed
from any meaningful education.
![Page 7: History, Demographic Trends, and Policy Directions](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012902/56815e97550346895dcd2899/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Castañeda v. Pickard (1981)
“Castañeda Standards”
(1) Whether the school system is pursuing a program informed by an educational
theory recognized as soundby some experts in the field, or, at least, deemed a
legitimate experimental strategy.
(2) Whether the programs and practices actually used by the school system are
reasonably calculated to implement effectivelythe educational theory adopted by the
school.
(3) Whether the school's program succeeds, after a legitimate trial, to produce
resultsindicating that the language barriers confronting students are actually being
overcome.

Two NCLB accountability facts from California:
• ELLs on ELA constitute second-most common AYP target category missed (62% of identified districts)
• Title I program improvement (PI) districts have a median EL percentage three times greater than those not PI (30.6% vs. 10.2%)

NCLB & ELLs: What has worked?• Spotlight on ELLs: Title I & Title III • ELP Standards & single ELP annual assessment • Alignment of ELP to other content standards • Annual progress specified (AMAO 1, proto-growth
model) • “Finish line” defined (AMAO 2, English proficient
level)
![Page 26: History, Demographic Trends, and Policy Directions](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012902/56815e97550346895dcd2899/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• ELL subgroup definition (distorts performance, weakens accountability)
• Title I AYP status bar (ignores progress continuum)
• Relating academic progress & achievement to ELP level, time in program
• PD for mainstream teachers of ELLs (no performance without capacity)
NCLB & ELLs: What needs improving?
![Page 27: History, Demographic Trends, and Policy Directions](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012902/56815e97550346895dcd2899/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• 100% proficient by 2014 (lacks existence proof -- AYP AMAO 3)
• Academic assessments often not appropriately accommodated for ELLs (invalid conclusions)
• (Invalid) test-based accountability generates perverse behaviors
• ELL linguistic resources largely ignored
NCLB & ELLs: What needs real fixing?
![Page 28: History, Demographic Trends, and Policy Directions](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012902/56815e97550346895dcd2899/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• State and local leadership matter • Set and monitor linguistic and academic progress
goals for every ELL • Focus on program coherence• Invest in prioritized, long-term PD on instructional
quality• Improve assessment systems & practices including
formative, interim
NCLB & ELLs: Implications so far…

Looking to the Future:Leadership in the New Era

Five Essential Supports(Bryk et al, Organizing Schools for Improvement)
• “School leadership sits in the first position. It acts as driver for improvements in four other organizational subsystems:
• parent and community ties, • professional capacity of the faculty and staff, • a student-centered learning climate, and • an instructional guidance system.”
![Page 32: History, Demographic Trends, and Policy Directions](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012902/56815e97550346895dcd2899/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Five Essential Supports(Bryk et al, Organizing Schools for Improvement)
• “While it has been the practice of many districts and schools to concentrate reform efforts on just one or two elements within one or two of these subsystems (for example, improving the quality of teachers or mandating a common instructional curriculum), the evidence presented here attests that these systems stand in strong interaction with one another. As a consequence of this interactivity, meaningful improvement typically entails orchestrated initiatives across multiple domains.”
