Exit rates from Limited English Proficiency (LEP) for students who enter the Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) as LEP students vary by when students enter WCPSS (based on students entering in kindergarten, grade 6 or 7, or grade 9).

Kim, Jinok; Herman, Joan L. – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2010
In English Language Learners' (ELLs) reclassification, the tension between assuring sufficient English language proficiency (ELP) in mainstream classrooms and avoiding potential negative consequences of protracted ELL status creates an essential dilemma. This study assesses the validity of existing systems in terms of gross consequences of…

Conger, Dylan – Institute for Education and Social Policy, New York University, 2008
The No Child Left Behind Act requires schools to begin testing new English Learners (EL) in English language arts within three years after they enter school and holds schools accountable for their performance on these exams. Yet very little empirical work has examined exactly how long it takes EL students to become proficient in English and how…

Orellana, Marjorie Faulstich; Gutierrez, Kris D. – Research in the Teaching of English, 2006
In our previous "At Last" essay, "The "Problem" of English Learners: Constructing Genres of Difference" (Gutierrez & Orellana, 2006), we identified a predictable genre that characterizes much research on English Learners. We noted how the genre may unwittingly perpetuate deficit constructions and keep us from identifying other issues for…

However, very little experimental research has been done on specific accommodations to determine whether these pose a threat to score comparability. This…
