Abstract

Under federal law, parents have the right to decline, or waive, English language support services when their child is identified as an English learner (EL) in school. In this study, we focus on this important subgroup of ELs—referred to as waived ELs—at the understudied intersection of EL status and special education (SPED) status. Using longitudinal statewide Tennessee data from 2010 to 2021, we used discrete-time hazard modeling to explore ELs’ representation in SPED services by their English language service waiver status (i.e., ever-waived EL vs. never-waived EL). Results revealed that ELs’ likelihood of placement into SPED services, and specifically for specific learning disability and speech-language impairment, varied by their English language service waiver status. We describe similarities and differences in the timing and likelihood of placement trends and discuss implications for practice and policy.
豁免的英语学习者:未被充分研究的英语学习者与特殊教育身份的交集
根据联邦法律,当孩子在学校被认定为英语学习者(EL)时,家长有权拒绝或放弃英语语言支持服务。在本研究中,我们将重点关注这一重要的英语学习者亚群体,即被放弃的英语学习者,他们的英语学习者身份与特殊教育(SPED)身份之间的交叉点尚未得到充分研究。利用田纳西州 2010 年至 2021 年的纵向数据,我们采用离散时间危险模型,根据英语语言服务豁免状态(即曾经豁免的 EL 与从未豁免的 EL)来探讨 EL 在特殊教育服务中的代表性。结果显示,根据英语语言服务豁免状况的不同, ELs 被安置到 SPED 服务,特别是特殊学习障碍和言语障碍服务的可能性也不同。我们描述了安置趋势的时间和可能性的异同,并讨论了对实践和政策的影响。
