Pre-Exit Emergent Bilingual Student Performance: English STAAR and TELPAS, 2021-2022. Research Educational Program Report
Houston Independent School District
Emergent bilingual 1 (EB) students are students who are not proficient in English and who must be provided the option of either a bilingual or an ESL program. EBs who are in the district's two main bilingual programs (transitional and dual language) are instructed in both English and Spanish. The relative amount of instruction in each language depends on both program and grade level. Students in the transitional bilingual program have the option of entering a pre-exit phase or strand in grades 3 through 5 as long as certain criteria are met that would indicate the student is ready for mostly English-language instruction. In this phase, English instruction is emphasized while introduction and reinforcement of new concepts are done in the primary language. The pre-exit phase is intended to serve as a transitional phase until the student achieves full English proficiency and can be reclassified as non-EB. This report summarizes data from EBs who are in the pre-exit phase of the district's Transitional Bilingual Program (grades 3 through 5).
