Hopstock, Paul J.; Bucaro, Bonnie J.; Fleischman, Howard L.; Zehler, Annette M.; Eu, Hongsook
The report presents results of a study of: the type, content, duration, and intensity of instructional services provided to limited-English-proficient (LEP) students in the United States; administrative procedures associated with these services (including procedures for identifying students for entry into and exit from these special services); the numbers, types, and qualifications (including first and second language proficiency) and training of staff (including training/certification in bilingual or English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) instruction); and the costs of these special services. Data were gathered through: mail survey of LEP coordinators at state education agencies (n=51), local school districts (n=745), individual schools (n=1,835), and teachers (n=949) of LEP students; telephone survey with LEP coordinators at school districts (n=99) and schools (n=263); case studies of ten school districts; and Title VII file reviews (n=192), including reviews of Title VII applications and interviews with project directors. The study covered the 1991-92 school year. This volume, second of 4 of the final report, contains information on the survey methodology and results in the areas noted above, and additional results concerning school environment and parent involvement and availability of data on student outcomes. Substantial appendixes contain data summaries. (MSE)
