President Obama and Secretary Duncan have called upon states, districts, and education leaders to change the lives of millions of children by dramatically improving the nation's 5,000 lowest performing schools. These chronically failing schools will require intensive intervention to turn around performance that has fallen short of expectations for many years. States and districts are likely to try a variety of approaches to improve performance, such as contracting with external providers, who often bring in new leadership and staff; closing schools outright and giving students the option to attend nearby, higher performing schools; or bringing in a "turnaround leader" to carry out drastic improvements. This last option is known in other sectors as a "turnaround" effort--a quick, dramatic, and sustained change driven by a highly capable leader. District leaders deploying this strategy in chronically failing schools can learn from the experiences of classic turnarounds that have worked. This brief draws from the cross-sector research base on successful turnarounds to offer seven steps for district leaders to support turnaround principals and maximize their chances of success.

High School Course-Taking Patterns for English Language Learners: A Case Study from California. Research Brief
Author: Finkelstein, Neal
Date: 2009-04-00
Type: Numerical/Quantitative Data
Subjects: Course Selection (Students),Second Language Learning,English (Second Language),English,Academic Records,Mathematics Education,English Instruction,Required Courses,Admission Criteria,College Admission

In this research brief, the authors examine transcript data from 54 high schools in California to look at the specific course-taking patterns of English language learners (ELLs). They investigate the patterns by which ELLs complete 9th grade in English and mathematics and how that links to the accumulation of a comprehensive sequence of rigorous courses by the time the ELLs are high school seniors. By examining the course names in the transcript file, they were able to identify the courses that were designed for ELLs. These courses were labeled specifically as &quot;EL&quot; (English language), &quot;ELL,&quot; &quot;ELD&quot; (English language development), &quot;ESL&quot; (English as a second language), &quot;Sheltered&quot; (integration of native language and content instruction), and &quot;SDAIE&quot; (Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English). The findings in this study suggest that students have a better chance of  completing the CSU entrance requirements if they are identified early as being English language learners. The fact that English language learners (late ID) are only about 39% as likely as English language learners (early ID) to complete CSU entrance requirements suggests that early identification is highly important. In either case, English language learners, regardless of when they are identified, show considerable difficulty fulfilling CSU entrance requirements when compared to non-English learners. The findings here highlight this point, suggesting that more needs to be done to support English language learners' chances of completing college entrance requirements by the end of 12th grade.
