STEM Pathways for English Learners and Immigrants: Evidence From Three States
Fri, April 22, 8:00 to 9:30am PDT (8:00 to 9:30am PDT), Manchester Grand Hyatt, Floor: 2nd Level, Harbor Tower, Harbor Ballroom ESession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This session features research from four federally-funded studies focused on access, success, and equity in math and science for English learners and immigrants of color. The projects draw on large-scale longitudinal data from New York, Texas, and Oregon, and examine the variety of ways that these differing policy contexts shape the STEM trajectories of English learners across the secondary and postsecondary years. The findings highlight the cumulative nature of coursetaking and the extent to which official and non-official coursetaking policies early in middle and high school can have striking long-term consequences for STEM attainment among ELs. The session will also describe some of the cross-study collaboration that supported the development of shared variable definitions and parallel data structures.
