32 The foreign-born population in Illinois rose 86% from 1990 to The immigrant portion of Illinois population rose from 8.3% to 13.8%. Illinois ranks among the top six receiving states for new immigrants, following California, New York, Florida, Texas, and New Jersey. More than half of all immigrants in the US and in Illinois arrived in 1990 or after. About one-quarter arrived in 2000 or after. Illinois immigrants are moving beyond Chicago. Only one-third of all Illinois immigrants live in the city of Chicago, compared to 49% in Many recent immigrants now bypass Chicago and move directly to the suburbs and rural areas. In Illinois, 30 out of 102 counties saw their immigrant populations double from 1990 to Cass County saw an increase in its foreign-born population of 1141%.

35 Educating all children will require the will and commitment to understand and respond to cultural difference. To the extent that teachers know and understand how children s past experiences have been organized and explained, they are better able to fashion new ones for them. (Bowman & Stott, 1994)

39 Lau v. Nichols (excerpts) 414 U.S. 563 (1974) When children arrive in school with little or no English-speaking ability, "sink or swim" instruction is a violation of their civil rights, according to the U.S. Supreme Court in this 1974 decision. Lau remains the major precedent regarding the educational rights of language minorities, although it is grounded in statute (Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964), rather than in the U.S. Constitution. At issue was whether school administrators may meet their obligation to provide equal educational opportunities merely by treating all students the same, or whether they must offer special help for students unable to understand English. Lower federal courts had absolved the San Francisco school district of any responsibility for minority children's "language deficiency." But a unanimous Supreme Court disagreed. Its ruling opened a new era in federal civil rights enforcement under the so-called "Lau Remedies." The decision was delivered by Justice William O. Douglas on January 21, 1974.

40 Identification Process STEP 1 Administer Home Language Survey (HLS) to all new school enrollees STEP 2 Identify students of non-english speaking background from HLS STEP 3 Administer prescribed English language proficiency screener to students who identify as non- English language background STEP 4 Review assessment results to determine need for program services (bilingual/esl) 23 ILL. Adm. Code

41 Home Language Survey (HLS) Public schools must administer the HLS to ALL new students (PK-Grade 12). Purpose - to identify students of non-english language background. Must be done at school enrollment time or before their first day of classes if in Pre-K. Must be in English and in the home language to the extent possible. Must include at least these 2 questions: Does the student speak a language other than English and if so, which language? Does anyone in the home speak a language other than English and if so, which language? Must have space for parent/guardian to sign and date it. 23 ILL. Adm. Code

42 Initial Identification Schools review each Home Language Survey (HLS). If another language is listed, they must assess the English proficiency of that student by using a screener. The assessment must take place no later than 30 days from enrollment date in the district, or If Pre-K, no later than 30 days after beginning participation in that program. If the language proficiency assessment yields test scores that fall below ISBE cut-offs, the school must provide the student bilingual education services. It must also annually report identified ELL students on the Student Information System (SIS). 23 ILL. Adm. Code

43 Early Exit Bilingual Model Three years out model. Uses native language as a bridge to target language. Goal is for child to become fluent in target language. Late Exit Bilingual Model Five to seven years and out model. Uses native language as a bridge to target language. Goal is for child to become fluent in the target language.

44 Maintenance Heritage Language Program Class composed of SAME native language speakers. Goal is to maintain language while learning the target language. Dual Language Model Class is composed of half native language and half target language speakers. Goal is for both groups of children to become bilingual in both languages.

48 Cloud, Genesse, Hamayan ELL s use their home language to help them learn English much the way a child uses the straps to pull on their boots it is much easier than if a child just tries to tug away at the boots themselves Krashen: The role of MEANING The role of COMPREHENSIBLE INPUT The role of LOW ANXIETY Cummins Proficiency in English used for COMMUNICATIVE PURPOSES Proficiency in English used for ACADEMIC PURPOSES EMPOWERMENT OF STUDENTS Long the role of INTERACTION

49 Annual Examination What: ACCESS for ELLs test: Assessing Comprehension and Communication in English State-to-State for English Language Learners. ALL ELLs must take it. Includes ELLs with IEPs and ELLs whose parents refused bilingual program services Testing continues until student attains minimum scores showing he/she is no longer LEP/ELL. When: national testing window, usually January. Test results help determine: The student s progress in learning English If the student is still LEP/ELL and needs to continue in the program (TBE or TPI), or If he/she is ready to exit the program To exit from the program, the ACCESS test scores must show at least: Composite level of 4.8, and Literacy level of ILL.

50 Levels of Language Proficiency (measure with ACCESS) Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing Entering Beginning Developing Expanding Bridging Reaching A student can display different levels of language proficiency within BICS and CALPS and within each of the language skill areas. We first learn to read. Then we read to learn. These are two very different conceptual skill sets.

51 Must provide sensory, graphic or interactive support during assessment and instruction. 4 EXPANDING 5 BRIDGING 1 ENTERING 2 BEGINNING 3 DEVELOPING Only level where grade level text can be used with minimal support. Tammy King 2010

57 Regular practice with complex test and its academic vocabulary Students should practice with academic vocabulary through multiple opportunities across all four language domains and for multiple academic purposes Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction and informational text Students should write consistently, during and after reading short and extended texts, and respond to text dependent questions Reading and writing grounded in evidence from text Students should write daily and consistently during reading of short and extended texts to show evidence of their application of reading strategies, such as predicting, visualizing, inferring, summarizing, questioning and connecting. ELL students are learning to read English while simultaneously reading to learn English content. The older the ELL child, the farther his/her English language peers have progressed in English language content development.

58 Select words that are important for understanding the essential learnings and the text. Do not exceed the number of words that student can remember (around 6 to 10 per lesson) depending on the learners age and/or stage of proficiency. Select words that can advance student s word learning skills (words with particular prefixes or suffixes for example) Teach words that are frequent, useful and likely to be encountered in the content area. They should be highly transferrable to other units or content areas. Do not directly teach words if students can use context or structural analysis skills to discover the word s meaning. Be sure that you select an appropriately leveled passage to begin with, one for which you will only need to teach a small number of words prior to reading.

59 Water Cycle: What vocabulary words are important for understanding? How can you use gestures to represent the vocabulary? How can you use pictures to represent the vocabulary? How can you have repeated exposures to the vocabulary? How can you use technology to assist in the teaching? How might these strategies help all of your students not just the ELL s?
