This study seeks to examine the impact
on student achievement of a combination of a comprehensive English
Language Learner (ELL) student program, On Our Way to English
[OWE], and a professional development course, Responsive
Instruction for Success in English [RISE]. Schools identified as
having a high percentage of Spanish-speaking ELL students will be
randomly assigned to either the treatment condition or a control
group. All grade 1-5 classrooms at each school will participate in
the condition assigned to the school. This study begins in 2007.
OWE and RISE will be implemented in treatment schools during the
2007-2008 and 2008-2009 school years. Data on classroom practices,
student activities, and student language and literacy will be
collected each of these years. Intermediate and cumulative effects
of the interventions will be analyzed using year-end data and data
collected over the course of the study. Other analyses may explore
education mechanisms that contribute to variation in the impact in
achievement.
