Reclassification of Multilingual Learners (MLs) with Disabilities
Funded by the Spencer Foundation
This study investigates how teachers use English language proficiency (ELP) data and make reclassification decisions for MLs with disabilities. Reclassification is a high-stakes issue in the education of MLs with disabilities, as these students are disproportionately less likely to reach English proficient status. The study seeks to promote reclassification procedures that are data-informed, systematic, and fair.
