Book excerpt: "Do you worry about distinguishing between learning disabilities and language difficulties among ELLs who are having academic difficulties? Historically in the United States, there has been a tendency to refer English language learners (ELLs) inappropriately to special education. This has led to the overidentification of ELLs as having special education needs and a disproportionate representation of ELLs in special education. With the growing popularity of Response to Intervention (RTI), unnecessary referrals to special education can be avoided. This handbook helps you apply the principles of RTI to ELLs. It shows how to create school-based teams that include ESL/bilingual specialists, special education specialists, and other professionals who collectively have the expertise needed to explore factors that influence an ELL's response to intervention, and then develop culturally and linguistically appropriate RTI systems. These factors include personal and family factors, physical and psychological factors, previous schooling, oral language and literacy development, academic achievement, and cultural differences. The authors provide tools and strategies that teams can use to assess the nature of the ELLs' learning difficulty, collaborate in service provision, create a continuum of interventions, and measure the ELLs' response to those interventions.> ORDER PRINT COPY: $34.95 Special Education Considerations for English Language Learners: Delivering a Continuum of Services Order Now> Print Copy - $34.95 Considering this book for course adoption?

Book excerpt: Because procedures are not in place in many schools and school districts to successfully determine academic placement of English language learners, many of these learners are placed inappropriately. Some who don't need special services (other than English as a second language) may find themselves in special education classes. Others who need special services may be placed in regular classes without the extra supports and services that they need. Working with English language learners and with students requiring special education services requires collaboration among teachers, school psychologists, speech pathologists, and assessment personnel with expertise in general, bilingual, and special education.

But Els and their families, who are in the process of learning English and navigating an often-unfamiliar education system, may not have a voice powerful enough to articulate their needs. Consequently, all teachers and administrators must advocate for this all-important diverse group of students who will become tomorrow's workforce."--Back cover.

Book excerpt: This volume brings together a broad range of academics, school-based educators, and policymakers to address research, policy, and practice issues related to improving the education of English language learners in U.S. schools today. It emphasizes throughout that instructional improvements cannot be achieved via curriculum alone--teachers are key to improving the education of this large and growing population of students. The focus is on the quality of preparation and development of pre-service and in-service educators. Contributors include leading educators and researchers in the field and from nationally recognized professional development programs. Their recommendations range from promising new professional development practices to radical changes in current state and federal policy. Preparing Quality Educators for English Language Learners is an important resource to help teacher educators, administrators, and policymakers address critical issues as they develop programs for English language learners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well known that the number of non-English speakers is on the rise in the United States. What is less well known is that the largest proportion of this population is children under the age of 5. These young English language learners (ELLs) often demonstrate achievement gaps in basic math and reading skills when they start school. How best to educate this important and growing preschool population is a pressing concern for policymakers and practitioners. The chapters in this important book provide up-to-date syntheses of the research base for young ELLs on critical topics such as demographics, development of bilingualism, cognitive and neurological benefits of bilingualism, and family relationships, as well as classroom, assessment, and teacher-preparation practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides a review of scientific research on the learning outcomes of students with limited or no proficiency in English in U.S. schools. Research on students in kindergarten to grade 12 is reviewed. The primary chapters of the book focus on these students' acquisition of oral language skills in English, their development of literacy (reading & writing) skills in English, instructional issues in teaching literacy, and achievement in academic domains (i.e., mathematics, science, and reading). The reviews and analyses of the research are relatively technical with a focus on research quality, design characteristics, and statistical analyses. The book provides a set of summary tables that give details about each study, including full references, characteristics of the students in the research, assessment tools and procedures, and results. A concluding chapter summarizes the major issues discussed and makes recommendations about particular areas that need further research.
