This report provides research- and evidence-based guidelines for developing a recently-arrived (RA) English learner (EL) accountability model that is grounded in a state’s theory of action. A state can use these guidelines to engage in a systematic process of developing a RA EL accountability model or to formatively evaluate its currently proposed or established approaches to RA EL assessment and accountability.
