Descriptive Analyses of Children Identified as DLLs
The PKOMW curriculum includes specific supports to facilitate learning and language development for DLL students. DLLs, or students who had a home language other than English were included in this set of analyses (whether they passed the English language screener or not). Due to this focus, we sought to determine if there were differences in scores between DLL students (n = 9) in the PKOMW classrooms and those in the comparison (n = 9) classrooms. Prior to conducting analyses, we examined differences between demographic variables, English screener, and number of students in the classroom across both conditions (see Table 7). These descriptive analyses show that a higher proportion of DLL students in PKOMW classrooms came from household with higher income, and had parents with higher levels of education, and were in classrooms with a smaller number of students, all of which have been found to be associated with child outcomes (Kim et al., 2014). We also found that DLL students in the comparison group ( M = 18.78, SD = 1.72) had marginally higher scores on the English screener than those in the PKOMW group ( M = 14.78, SD = 7.64).
