U.S. School Reform Policy, State Accountability Systems and the Limited English Proficient Student.
Reyes, Pedro; Rorrer, Andrea
Journal of Education Policy, v16 n2 p163-78 Mar-Apr 2001
Addresses the political and policy environment that has shaped the educational agenda for rising U.S. state accountability systems, highlighting these policies' effects on the limited-English-proficient learner. The hope for language-minority students lies in pressures on school officials to narrow the white/minority achievement gap. (Contains 64 references.) (MLH)
