The Significant Bilingual Instructional Features (SBIF) study identified, described, and verified features of bilingual instruction of a wide variety of limited English proficient (LEP) students. It collected data on instructional organization, time allocation, classroom language use, active teaching behaviors, academic learning time, student participation styles, and classroom, school, and community context variables through a variety of quantitative and qualitative procedures. This document reports on a study segment verifying the utility of the initial findings for practitioners: (1) for improving instruction for LEP students, (2) for implementing instructional programs, and (3) for aiding various ethnolinguistic groups. Verification was carried out through meetings with teachers of LEP students, teacher educators, administrators of bilingual education programs, and others interested in the instruction of LEP students. The participating practitioners indicated that the framework for bilingual instruction developed in the study was a potentially useful tool for conceptualizing, observing, analyzing, and evaluating instruction. They also saw two areas for change in school district policies regarding bilingual education: discouragement of language alternation and over-frequent testing. (MSE)
