Title III Supplemental Funds: Creative Ways to Support the Education of English Language Learners in Texas Schools. Briefing Paper
Quiroz, Blanca; Beckwith, Shirley; Williams, Haidee
Texas Comprehensive Center
This report describes how two school districts in Texas supported the achievement of English language learners (ELLs) beyond classroom instruction, through ancillary education enrichment opportunities with Title III funds. These particular districts were identified as those with some of the most successful ELL programs, as determined by improvement in student achievement. One district has one of the largest ELL populations, proportionally, and the other is the third largest in Texas. The districts' reported practices fell into three major categories: adult education that impacts parental involvement at school and school-related home support of ELLs; teachers' or schools' support activities that increase and/or enrich their value as resources for ELLs; and student services that go beyond classroom instruction and help districts cope with the diverse background of ELLs entering their schools. Each of these areas of support is described in this report.
