Studies that fall outside the English Language Learners review protocol or do not meet evidence standards

Dennis, R. L. (2004). The effects of the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol Model on the vocabulary development of English language learners in the content area. Masters Abstracts International, 43(04), 101–1073. The study is ineligible for review because it does not use a comparison group.

Echevarria, J., Short, D., & Powers, K. (2006). School reform and standards-based education: A model for English-language learners. Journal of Educational Research, 99(4), 195–210. The study does not meet WWC evidence standards because the intervention and comparison groups are not shown to be equivalent at baseline.

Dissertation Abstracts International, 67(07A), 160–2411. The study does not meet WWC evidence standards because the measures of effect cannot be attributed solely to the intervention—there was only one unit of analysis in one or both conditions.
