Cultural Heritage Bilingual Program Performance Report: English STAAR, Stanford, and TELPAS, 2012-2013. Research Educational Program Report
Houston Independent School District
Texas Administrative Code (BB § 89.1205) specifies that all elementary schools must offer a bilingual program to English Language Learners (ELLs) whose home language is spoken by 20 or more students in any single grade level across the entire district. Based on this rule, in addition to Spanish speaking ELLs, students speaking Vietnamese, Mandarin, Arabic, and Urdu as their primary language are eligible for bilingual services. The Bilingual Cultural Heritage Program (CHBP) was developed for students in these language groups, and started in 2008-2009. CHBP is an early-exit bilingual program serving students in grades pre-K through 4. Currently, CHBP is only implemented for native Vietnamese speakers at Park Place Elementary School. This report contains summaries of student performance including the following: (1) Student enrollment by grade level; (2) State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR) reading and mathematics (percent of students who met standard); (3) Stanford 10 mean normal curve equivalent (NCE) scores for reading, mathematics, language, science, and social science; and (4) Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS) percentage of students scoring Advanced High, and the percentage of students making gains in proficiency.
