INTRODUCTION

Greater numbers of English learners (ELs) are enrolled in school every year. (The U.S. Department of Education officially calls these students limited English proficient [LEP] students. They are also sometimes referred to as language minority students [LMS]). Teachers and administrators are concerned with the large gap in reading and academic standing between ELs and students performing at grade level and want to know how to provide quality instruction to help close this gap.

My colleagues and I have completed several longitudinal studies in preschool to grade 12 and analyzed others while participating in national research panels. In doing so, we have accumulated a collection of school-based and instructional features that are working for all students. These features have been integrated and empirically tested in a professional development model called Expediting Comprehension for English Language Learners (ExC-ELL) through funding from the Carnegie Corporation of New York. We have since offered ExC-ELL professional development programs and on-site follow-up activities in various schools, school districts, regional educational centers, state departments of education, and universities for teams of teachers, coaches, and administrators. With this book, we are now bringing this information to you. Each chapter emphasizes the features that have had the greatest impact on EL success.
