ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Saint Leo University
This study investigated the impact of AICE (Advanced International Certificate of Education) English General Paper courses on the academic progress of 10th-grade students with disabilities, specifically their performance in Florida Standards Assessment (FSA) scores. The primary objective was to examine the correlation between ninth-grade FSA scores and 10th-grade AICE English General Paper scores among students with disabilities. The research sample included 67 students from a large public high school in Southern Florida, all with either Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or 504 plans. A correlational quantitative approach was utilized to analyze the relationship between FSA and AICE scores. The findings reveal a significant positive correlation between ninth-grade FSA scores and 10th-grade AICE English General Paper scores, indicating that students with higher FSA scores tend to perform better in AICE courses. The study holds implications for future studies and policy enhancements aimed at improving the educational experiences of students with disabilities in advanced coursework.
