dc.description.abstract | This project is a one‐year investigation of the nature of academic supports afforded
to limited English proficient students in the Jefferson County Public Schools district in
Louisville, KY. Surveys, interviews, observations, and document analysis were
conducted to illuminate some of the ways the district, schools, and individual
teachers increased the chances for academic success during the 2015‐2016 academic
year. This report presents current and relevant research on second language
learners, presents findings, and concludes with recommendations for the district.
This report shows that while the district makes available human and financial capital,
additional work on measurable goals, professional development, and structures for
tracking and scheduling will ultimately serve LEP students well. This project was
conducted by final year doctoral students at the Peabody College of Education at
Vanderbilt University. A complete works cited page accompanies the full report. | en_US |
