The second stream, a combination of remediation and core courses in which
42 % of ELs enrolled, was for two kinds of students whose CST-ELA performance
was BB or FBB: (a) those who were at Beginning to Early Intermediate levels of
ELP and had been in EL status for 4 or more years, and were therefore no longer
eligible for ELD instruction; and (b) those who were at Intermediate to Advanced
ELP regardless of number of years in EL status. Reading and writing interventions
replaced ELD, ELA, and for sixth graders, social studies as well.
