Abstract: The data collection
described in this submission will assist
policymakers in understanding the
impact of classification and
reclassification policies that govern
students’ English learner (EL) status.
Specifically, the study examines (1)
whether classification and
reclassification was implemented more
consistently across districts within
states after the start of the Every Student
Succeeds Act (ESSA) and (2) whether
classification and reclassification at
current thresholds helps, harms, or is
neutral for ELs’ and former ELs’
instructional opportunities, experiences,
achievement, and attainment. This
revision request adds district and school
surveys to the approved data collection.
The surveys will assess how districtlevel policies, practices, and procedures
influence the impacts of reclassification
on ELs as well as provide valuable
descriptive information from districts
and schools on local implementation of
policies and practices that may affect
outcomes for ELs. It will complement an
existing data collection (#1850–0974) of
student information from state
longitudinal data systems (SLDSs).
