Both problems have moderated over time, but a persistent educational attainment gap remains for English language learners (ELLs). Mid-City High School is a culturally and linguistically diverse school in a working class neighborhood. Frustrated by the students’ lack of progress and the high dropout rates among youth with and without disabilities, the staff established a plan for improving instruction for their ELLs, its centerpiece a Response to Intervention (RTI) model. As part of this effort, they are targeting ELLs’ vocabulary development and reading comprehension. In this seminar, Dr. Janette Klingner will discuss challenges faced by the staff at Mid-City High School and ways they addressed these challenges.
