I keep looking for info about teaching ESL to spec ed students who qualify for full-time special ed services. I cannot get timely support from anyone in my district, so I thought I'd ask for some guidance here.

I'm a high school ELAR teacher with 2 'fairly' new students from Southern Mexico. They speak 0 English and are actually pretty 'high' as they say in the severe and profound population or for learners whose academic skills are in excess of 4 grades below age~grade level.

I've searched and searched the internet and I can't get any answers anywhere. (Sorry, I'm a bit frustrated. You would think that since Texas is a border state we'd have something defined already, but...)

Well, the kind of questions I have are related to all of this research-based mess we have to comply with. Like, what kind of data should I regard as success? How many trials should we try and how many repetitions?

Any insight will be appreciated, Choco
Chan I think maybe someone on the special ed boards might be better able to answer that one, or someone on the Texas boards.
