Two obligations: • Program to overcome Language Barriers • (as quickly as possible) • Provide access to same core curriculum • (and remedy any deficits incurred while learning English)
Three Prongs of Castañeda • Are based on scientific research or theory • Have adequate resources to fully implement the program research or theory • Produce results that show the program is effective – an evaluation
Two ways to do this • Simultaneously: • Full access to core + learning English • Sequentially: • First learn English • Then full access and catch-up How do you determine if a program is truly simultaneous or sequential?
Catch-up Plan • Whether a program is sequential by design or by default, students must be afforded the opportunity to meet the same expectation levels that all other students achieve. • Before reclassification • After reclassification • Hence the catch-up plan
