- Summary:
-
This paper describes the model employed by the Austin (Texas) Independent School District, developed in response to the Lau v Nichols decision on instruction for limited English speaking ability (LESA) students, to determine when a LESA student is no longer a LESA student. Five other theoretical models are proposed: (1) an expected performance model using nonverbal intellectual functioning, socioeconomic status, and language learning capability measures to predict individual achievement; (2) a compensatory education exit model which would provide special instruction, if necessary, after attaining an appropriate English proficiency functioning level; (3) an optimal instructional placement model to project which type of program would provide the highest rate of academic achievement for a particular type of student; (4) a LESA false positives identification model to identify students who meet exit criteria during one year but who will most likely not meet the criteria the following year; and (5) a simple solution model which would be based on research and measurement to determine when a student has reached an adequate level of English proficiency to function normally in a regular classroom.
