E.L. Achieve consults with educational agencies to equip English learners for academic achievement. Our organization was built on the premise that increasing English learner achievement requires a system-wide approach.
Along with strong pedagogy and purposeful leadership, English learners need opportunities for robust language learning.
Our research-based and federally compliant model illustrates how school systems can structure the day to ensure English learners receive explicit language instruction for these two related, but distinct, purposes:
- Systematic ELD – Instruction in the English language as its own subject of study designed to grow students’ proficiency in English. This is also referred to as dedicated or designated ELD.
- Constructing Meaning – Explicit support for all students in acquiring the language needed to comprehend and express understanding of
grade-level work. This also serves as integrated ELD.
