Equity of Literacy-based Math Performance Assessments for ELLs
Study Design and Research Questions
Data: Maryland MSPAP (Grade 3)
· 492 ELL + 492 FEP (matched by SES)
· RQ1: Math scores
· RQ2: Math writing scores
· RQ3: Best predictors
Why Math is hard for Ell
Third language
· Gaps widen
· Hard vocabulary
· Weird grammar
· Slow reading
· Cultural differences
· Unknown references
· Low‑SES bias
Key Findings
High‑SES: FEP > ELL (big gap)
· Low‑SES: no difference
· ELL predictors: reading > language > SES
· FEP predictors: SES > reading > writing
· SES hits FEP harder
LBPA
BICS vs CALP
BICS- everyday conversation/ CALP-academic language
· BICS = social English (1‑2 yrs) → not enough
· CALP = academic English (5‑7 yrs) → needed
· ELLs lack CALP → scores lie
· Low‑SES FEP also lack CALP
DESIGNED FOR HIGHER-ORDER THINKING
Read + write math
· High literacy
· Example: cricket, tiles
· Problem: double disadvantage
