the upper trajectory of the dowel immersion indicate that = ls in the chinese ls grow faster than the average student for example, the dowel e merng they catch up to and score the bilingual maintenance program. interesting that relative to latino e ls the chinese farewell as well in the english. so, now inning i'm going to talk about math trajectories. so those trajectories are again similar to the ones we saw for english language art on the ax excess you'll see the x act excess we notice regardless of the pathway e ls in san francisco are scoring about the state average in most grades but the time is regardless of the pathway. and what we noticed especially those dual emergence program grow at a rate that is xhicht be with the state anchorage the lines track each other so the e ls are growing faster than the e ls in other pathways. this graft is for latino e l and the consistent pattern brown brown above the state overcame is for two pathways so the latino e l while the tyrannical is reversed they're growing slower and finally for the which they think so regardle

we looked at not only we looked at the e ls together and the chinese and the latino so see the different pathways by the ethnics. so you know the basic context in san francisco about 40 percent are spanish speaking and 20 percent speak cyanide poisoning 68 other languages but because the language groups are relatively small we didn't do an analysis separately but the entire population together. the district offers puths for the literacy and the new comer pathway we focused on 3 there's if you kindergarten for the new pathway that's not relevant track during the period we are we were studying most there would the bilingual program so we're going or we're not going to have the program information. instead we'll look at bilingual maintenance and dual and bilingual maintenance is certainly the closest in format and intent this slide is the pathways i'm going to belavish this it's in our handout. and so to give a little bit accepts we looked at kindergarten and students entering candid and compared the students were the same in two important aspects one is the same scores in kindergarten by t
