ESOL/Bilingual Professor Ester de Jong was cited as an expert source in two articles – a news article and a blog, both by staff writer Leslie Maxwell – in the May 23 edition of Education Week, both offering comprehensive treatments of the accountability issues affecting English language learners (ELLs) and their schools. De Jong was quoted saying Florida’s school grading system should weigh the performance of English-learners on the FCAT, based on their proficiency levels.
