Inclusion of English language learners in conversion small schoolsPlett, Bethany Joy 15 May 2009 (has links)
Small school reform is an increasingly popular reform in urban comprehensive
high schools. Efforts to divide large high schools into small school groups have been
funded by The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation as well as by the Coalition of Essential
Schools (CES). The Coalition of Essential Schools is a network of small schools that
adhere to similar educational ideologies such as the desirability to provide inclusive
educational environments. CES promotes inclusion as a means to equitable and
democratic education. This study explains the tensions the philosophy and practice of
inclusion has produced concerning English language learner (ELL) programs in
conversion small schools. This study investigates (a) the ways in which ELL programs in
conversion small schools have supported inclusive education, (b) the ways small school
inclusion has affected ELL programs, and (c) the impact inclusion philosophy in
conversion small schools on inclusive and equitable instruction for ELL students.
Through a multi-case qualitative study including interviews and observations, the
contexts for the ELL programs in three different conversion schools are investigated and
described. The data shows that none of the ELL programs investigated have been able to
fully support instructional inclusion either due to a lack of belief in the efficacy of inclusion or a lack of resources. Small school inclusion has affected ELL programs
differently in each school. At one school, the ELL program felt almost no effects of the
conversion. At another, the program is radically different than previous to the conversion.
Third, inclusive and equitable instruction for ELL students in conversion small schools,
even in the best case, is happening only in some classes. Due to a lack of resources, no
ELL program has been able to implement inclusion as a programmatic reform. Finally,
the impetus to involve ELL students in inclusion programs is highly influenced by special
education policies rather than by legislation overseeing ELLs. The study concludes that
inclusion is understood and practiced differently at each site. At the sites where any type
of inclusion was practiced, teachers reported that inclusion provided ELL students with
more social than academic benefits.

Small Schools and the Advanced Placement ProgramSmith, Julie Ann January 2009 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to identify aspects of successful Advanced Placement programs in small schools of enrollments of 600 or fewer, and to describe the strategies that are used in these schools to make their programs successful. The study includes a pilot research project with a small school with a floundering program identifying the major problems that it has faced in starting and creating its program along with cases of two additional small schools that have found success with their programs. The cases of the successful schools are analyzed to find the aspects of the programs that have led to their success to provide struggling schools with suggestions for improvements of their programs.

Curriculum enrichment in the small school, with particular reference to the Windermere, Florida, elementary schoolUnknown Date (has links)
It is a fallacy to assume that because a school is small it must necessarily be a poor school. Unfortunately size, number and quantity have become criteria of success in our American way of life, and educators, too, sometimes associate bigness with goodness. This fact has been noted by the American Association of School Administrators. True, the small school poses some problems and limitations not found in the larger schools, but there are also some definite advantages in the small school. It is the purpose of this paper to focus attention on the small school and to suggest ways and means of providing an enriched curriculum in the small school despite the limitations. Particular attention will be directed to the Windermere, Florida, Elementary School, where the writer is employed. / Typescript. / "August, 1956." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Marian Black, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 53-54).
