BaseballDad,
Thanks for doing the research. I've heard similar things about DLI program results. They do seem very encouraging and it's one of the reasons we choose to stay.
I'd like to find research that looks at the process by which the students learn and what types of struggles/successes are typical. There are different models and most look at the end results of the programs. I've seen test results given at certain points in the program (ie. end of 2nd) as well. It would be interesting to see what happens at different stages, like a year-by-year developmental chart, to understand what a child in immersion may go through. Maybe it would be an oversimplification of a complex and individualized process -- but I'd still like to see one!
This would be interesting. I also wonder if GT kids would follow the sequence or would have their own paths.
