Portes 2016¶

Portes, P. R., Gonzalez Canche, M. S., & Stollberg, R. (2016). Early RCT Findings for ELL Elementary Student Learning Outcomes After a Two-Year Pedagogical Intervention. SREE Spring 2016 Conference. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED567010

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Gender- and grade-disaggregated OLS analyses of the ELL subsample's standardized CRCT ELA scores across two cohorts. The article reports that "most of this gain is driven by the improvement of 5th grade female ELL students" with β = .342, p<.001; treated ELL girls in 5th grade outperformed female controls. No standardized effect size is printed.

"It is worth noting that further analyses disaggregated by gender and grade level indicate that most of this gain is driven by the improvement of 5th grade female ELL students (β = .342, p <.001)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Gender — moderator: an instructional effect differs by group

Related Claims¶

• ELL students taught by IC teachers outperform ELL control students in English Language Arts by .25 (p<.001) — a broader claim this one bears on
• The treatment-by-grade interaction indicates treated fifth graders outperformed treated third graders, not that treatment harmed third graders — related
