The federal Migrant Education Program provides supplemental instruction and support services to migrant children through grants to states under Title I, Part C, of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The reauthorization of Title I in 1994 contained new requirements that Title I schools help students meet new state standards developed for all children. As part of a national assessment of Title I, the National Longitudinal Survey of Schools surveyed principals and teachers to examine whether schools were using standards-based reforms. This report presents findings on schools serving migrant students, based on the first year of data collection--1998-99. Most Title I schools serving medium/high numbers of migrant students were both high-poverty and high-minority schools. Compared to Title I schools with no migrant students, Title I schools serving migrant students were more likely to operate schoolwide programs, offer before- and after-school programs, coordinate federal funds with other funds, and have quantifiable goals for student progress. However, in Title I schools serving migrant students, educators had lower expectations for student performance and were more likely to use alternate standards for limited-English proficient students, and fewer seniors took advanced mathematics courses. Although most migrant students participated in regular state or district assessments, few schools received results disaggregated by migrant status. In two-thirds of schools serving migrants, teachers received no professional development relevant to teaching migrant students. Compared to Title I schools with no migrant students, schools serving migrant students made greater efforts to involve parents and.

Many low-income families struggle with stable housing and frequently have to move due to foreclosures, rent increases, or other financial setbacks. Children in these families can experience lasting negative effects, especially those who are young and still developing basic learning and social skills. A joint NRC-IOM committee held a workshop in June 2009 to examine these issues, highlight patterns in current research, and discuss how to develop a support system for at-risk children.

Educating dual language learners (DLLs) and English learners (ELs) effectively is a national challenge with consequences both for individuals and for American society. Despite their linguistic, cognitive, and social potential, many ELsâ€"who account for more than 9 percent of enrollment in grades K-12 in U.S. schoolsâ€"are struggling to meet the requirements for academic success, and their prospects for success in postsecondary education and in the workforce are jeopardized as a result. Promoting the Educational Success of Children and Youth Learning English: Promising Futures examines how evidence based on research relevant to the development of DLLs/ELs from birth to age 21 can inform education and health policies and related practices that can result in better educational outcomes. This report makes recommendations for policy, practice, and research and data collection focused on addressing the challenges in caring for and educating DLLs/ELs from birth to grade 12.
