The LEP education program is a program that helps the LEP students achieve the same academic results as other students.
LEP students may have a wide range of educational needs.
They could be having trouble in school because they are having difficulty in learning, they have disabilities or they are just learning English.
In this article, we will discuss what the LEP population is, what challenges it faces, and how we can support it.
Study results
Studies on LEP in education show that the population of LEP students is extremely concentrated in a few schools.
This means that a better understanding of the needs of LEP students is required to ensure that policymakers can provide effective educational programs to them.
Also, a better estimate of the number of LEP students can lead to fairer distribution of resources.
Research has shown that the demographics of the teaching force and principals in High-LEP schools differ from those in Low-LEP schools.
For example, teachers in High-LEP schools are more diverse in gender, race, and ethnicity.
They are also more likely to have a variety of certifications, including temporary and emergency certification.
In addition, teachers in High-LEP schools report a lesser academic preparation than teachers in Low-LEP schools.
Principals in High-LEP schools are more racially and ethnically diverse than those in Low-LEP schools.
Specifically, they are more likely to be Hispanic and Asian.
A higher proportion of these teachers are male than female, and less likely to have full or probationary certification.
High-LEP schools are larger than low-LEP schools, and the class sizes are about two to three times larger.
In addition, many High-LEP schools offer academic support and remedial programs, as well as special after-school programs and summer school.
According to the study results, the most important factor determining a school's effectiveness is its teachers.
Specifically, general education teachers who teach in High-LEP schools are more likely to receive training geared towards teaching LEP students.
Similarly, they are less likely to have been trained on the use of computers for instruction.
The study also found that in High-LEP schools, a higher percentage of teachers are new to the profession.
In particular, the percentage of Asian teachers who teach in High-LEP schools is much higher than in Low-LEP schools.
Challenges of educating a small but rapidly growing LEP population in new destination states
One of the primary challenges of educating a small but rapidly growing LEP population in new destination states is the lack of educational support services.
In addition to the linguistic challenges that affect their academic performance, they face significant disadvantages when it comes to accessing resources.
There are many factors that contribute to the achievement of students in the US, including the ability of the student and their family to obtain economic stability.
However, the Great Recession has exacerbated this issue, and many families have yet to recover from the tumultuous economic climate.
This has led to a lag in economic recovery, and studies are currently exploring patterns in academic achievement post-recession.
Educating a linguistically diverse and economically diverse LEP population has its own set of challenges.
For example, LEP youth are more likely to be white than Latino, and are more likely to attend schools with less-integrated student populations.
They also are less likely to enroll in rigorous courses, and are less likely to earn a college degree.
While these differences may be partially due to racial/ethnic factors, the structural characteristics of schools, economic opportunities, and the availability of specialized services also play a role.
Schools in new immigrant destinations tend to have more favorable demographic and school resources than those in established immigrant destinations.
For example, more LEP youth are native speakers of English, and schools in these locations tend to have more bilingual teachers.
Additionally, they are more likely to have resources and programs for immigrant parents.
New destination states have seen high immigrant growth over the last few decades.
Many immigrant families are moving to suburban and rural areas.
The LEP population is racially and economically diverse, and some groups have a high education level and income.
These differences have also led to higher levels of academic achievement in these areas.
Recovery from the Great Recession may be shaping student achievement
In the United States, there is little debate that the Great Recession negatively affected the country's higher education sector.
But there is more to this story than simple economic downturns.
Moreover, the recession's effects were not evenly distributed across regions and states.
It also exacerbated geographic inequalities.
During the recession, enrollment at elite universities increased, while enrollment at less selective institutions slowed.
At the same time, federal Pell grant expansion helped middle-class students attend selective private colleges.
This study builds upon that observation by exploring the role played by federal student aid and the resulting stratification of college enrollments.
The results offer an explanation for the surge in post-recession enrollments.
A better understanding of this trend can inform federal and state policymakers and may provide an opportunity to improve student achievement.
While this study is based on data from the period between 2009 and 2012, the findings are robust to any subsequent recession.
Among the most interesting findings are that the recovery from the Great Recession was uneven.
In many counties, unemployment rates were relatively low, but in others, unemployment soared.
Counties that were disproportionately affected by the recession had lower-than-average test scores, and schools in the most economically depressed counties spent less on schools and teachers.
Another important metric is that of the number of students who took advantage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Those who did were likely to receive financial aid.
Many colleges implemented hiring freezes or other spending measures, while others responded to the economic uncertainty by reducing their costs.
Despite this evidence, higher education remains a highly racially and socioeconomically stratified system.
In the years after the recession, a majority of the income gains went to the top 1% of the population, despite the fact that the overall economy saw some growth.
Economic benefits of economies of scale in established destination states
The economic benefits of economies of scale are one of the most sought after factors when investors are making investments.
Companies can use these to achieve competitive advantages, such as lower costs and higher production levels.
This is possible because of two types of economies of scale.
One is internal and the other is external.
Internal economies of scale involve factors within a single company, whereas external economies of scale are factors that affect the entire industry.
Typically, companies will attempt to exploit these advantages whenever possible.
Larger companies will often have higher production levels, because they can use their resources to make more products and thus reduce costs.
They will also be able to spread their set-up costs across more products, thus reducing their overall costs.
In addition, they will be able to make larger purchases, which will bring down per-unit costs.
If they can get access to bulk orders from suppliers or negotiate discounts on purchases, they can further reduce their costs.
Using a high-skilled labor pool will also help them to reduce their overall costs.
Other ways that they can do this include tax reductions, partnerships, and joint ventures.
These benefits of economies of scale are available to companies of all sizes, and even those that are small.
When you have the ability to reduce costs, you can then increase your market share and engage in competitive practices.
ELLevation platform for DCPS
DCPS is a major player in the education world, and the ELLevation platform is a big part of its comprehensive strategic plan.
The plan was designed to bring top of the line personal technology to students in a way that was practical, affordable, and community-backed.
In February 2018, the first wave of ELi students received Microsoft Surface Go devices.
This year, the district introduced a one-to-one device-to-student ratio.
With its robust structure and the right people in place, DCPS hopes to keep this model going for the long term.
While the ELLevation platform is aimed at improving student learning, it also offers something for teachers and administrators.
The ELLevation Math program is designed to improve the academic language of math instruction by developing mathematical concepts and empowering educators to use those techniques with ELs.
It also helps ELs and teachers learn how to access grade level math content and interact with peers in the classroom.
