Janette K. Klingner

~In Memoriam~

Janette Klingner passed away on March 20, 2014. She was Professor of Education specializing in bilingual and cross-cultural special education at the University of Colorado Boulder. Janette was an inspiring and caring teacher, mentor and colleague. She was a bilingual special education teacher for ten years before earning a Ph.D. in reading and learning disabilities from the University of Miami. Research foci included the disproportionate representation of culturally and linguistically diverse students in special education, reading comprehension strategy instruction for culturally and linguistically diverse students, and enhancing the sustainability of culturally responsive and evidence-based practices through professional development. She was the past Co-Editor of the Review of Educational Research, and an Associate Editor for the Journal of Learning Disabilities. In 2004 she was honored with AERA’s Early Career Award and in 2014 was awarded the Leadership for the Special Education Field Award for her contributions to the field on behalf of students with disabilities, families, and educators.

NEPC Review: Meeting the Needs of English Learners and Other Diverse Learners (May 2010)

Meeting the Needs of English Learners and Other Diverse Learners

The research summary titled Meeting the Needs of English Learners and Other Diverse Learners outlines the administration’s proposals for reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to address the special educational needs of a broad category of students described as "diverse learners." While it purports to address recommendations for three groups (English learners, other diverse learners, and students with disabilities), the report does not in fact include students with disabilities. The research summary provides general recommendations without a systematic review of the research in support of the recommendations and without specific suggestions for how to put them into effect. The research summary highlights challenges but fails to provide solutions or suggest program improvements. For example, it indicates that all prospective teachers should be trained in English-learner teaching but does not address how this could be accomplished. The report introduces topics such as inadequate funding, program flexibility, and the need for data disaggregation, but provides no insights into how to progress in these areas. It says little about the rich research base in English-language learning and in meeting the needs of diverse learners. The research summary is also notable for the challenges and possible recommendations it fails to address, such as content area assessments and instruction.
