Abstract
Students who qualify for both English Language services and Special Education services tend to be underserved and have high failure rates in secondary schools. This project investigates the details related to dual eligible students’ underachievement and strives to create a curriculum that appropriately integrates language learning into topics such as identity and mental health. Research relates to methods of assessment that lead to qualification for both English language services and Special Education services. It also evaluates the complicated nature of co-teaching and the many methods for co-teaching that have been developed through research. In addition, this research shows that dual eligible students learn best when language objectives and vocabulary are explicitly taught. The curriculum created has been partially utilized in a 9-12 grade dual eligible Academic Language Development class in which the results showed that students were more engaged and achieved mastery of language objectives.
