Definition of Sheltered Instruction

A means for making grade-level academic content (e.g., science, social studies, math) more accessible for English language learners while at the same time promoting their English language development.

Academic Success

What we know about ELs

In 1998, 30% of Hispanic students dropped out compared to 14% for African Americans and 8% for Whites (8%) (Ruiz-de-Velasco & Fix, 2000).

Garcia (1993) suggests that this high dropout rate may be a direct result of the achievement gap, partially created by a lack of vocabulary skills.

EL Demographics Nearly one of every 5

students entering U.S. schools speaks a language other than English. One in 3 school

children is from an ethnic or racial minority group.

One in 10 is born outside the U.S. (2000 Census)
