Description¶
The article develops a shared random effects model (SREM) to estimate English proficiency development and time to reclassification simultaneously. It works by treating student-specific random effects as latent covariates in the time to reclassification model, so that growth in academic English proficiency informs predictions of when an English learner will reclassify to fluent English proficient status. The model was applied to data from a large Arizona school district.
Accounts¶
- Shared random effects model jointly estimating English proficiency development and time to reclassification: The article develops a shared random effects model (SREM) to estimate English proficiency development and time to reclassification simultaneously.

Claims¶
- The SREM predicts time to reclassification more accurately than a conventional discrete-time hazard model [+M]
- Information about English-language development is critical for accurately predicting the grade an EL will reclassify [+W]
