This report describes eight exemplary schools serving minority students with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) in Texas, California, Illinois, and Massachusetts. Schools were chosen by nomination. The report is divided into 10 chapters. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the report, and provides background information on how the eight schools were chosen. Chapters 2 through 9 each present a case study of one of the schools. Each chapter begins with a brief description of the school and community context, along with demographic information. The next section in each chapter portrays a scene from one or more exemplary learning environments illustrated by a diagram--the physical layouts of the classroom or setting followed by a detailed narrative description of the learning environment. Another section of each chapter pinpoints the curricular or instructional features characteristic of the learning environment and the larger school. A diagram summarizes these features and illustrates their relationship to the school's LEP program. A subsequent section highlights significant structural innovations that could be adapted by other schools. The last section of the chapter identifies factors at the district or state level that support the exemplary practices, and concludes with a brief summary of key findings. Chapter 10 provides lessons about exemplary practices and schools serving LEP students. (NAV)
