Surveying the Landscape of California's English Learner Reclassification Policy. Technical Appendices

These are the technical appendices for the report, "Surveying the Landscape of California's English Learner Reclassification Policy." The Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) developed the survey of district reclassification policies in consultation with English learner (EL) experts and several large school districts, as well as PPIC staff. Because district reclassification policies can vary by grade level and because school districts serve different grade levels, the survey needed to be able to have somewhat complicated skip patterns. Qualtrics survey software allowed for this, and the study used this software to develop and electronically distribute the survey. The online survey was distributed via email to all local education agencies (LEAs) in existence in June 2020, Emails went first to superintendents, and nonresponding districts were emailed again, but these subsequent emails went to Title III contacts. Multiple reminders were sent to potential respondents. Recipients were encouraged to forward the survey to the district staff member with the most knowledge of reclassification policies. The survey could only be filled out once by each district. Three appendices are included in the document: (1) Survey Methods; (2) Survey Instrument; and (3) Supplemental Tables.
