Abstract

This pilot study provides documentation on policy-and practice-based questions regarding the implementation of Proposition 227 in eight selected but representative districts. Focusing on teachers' reactions to Proposition 227, this study examines how teachers both shape and are affected by Proposition 227 implementation. Proposition 227 was intended to place a premium on English language development in a highly uniform and prescriptive manner throughout the state. Our initial study reveals that the nature of Proposition 227 implementation has a great deal to do with teacher ideology.
