• Develop a common understanding of best practices in balanced literacy instruction.

• ELL specialize in how to teach multi-lingual students and are the experts in best practices in ELL, not reading.

• Literacy specialists expertise is in the area of balanced literacy. We wanted to merge the two together and build the capacity in both reading and ELL best practices.

• Transfer the knowledge and skills.

•Deepen that understanding and create continuity and alignment in teaching reading from the general education classroom to the ELL classroom in order to better support our students.

•Change the way we deliver instruction by improving kids life chances.

OUR DATA

Then… In years past, we had not met the needs of our

refugee students. As measured by our state and local assessments, our students did not show growth.

Now… In just half a years time, our refugee students

have shown tremendous growth due to the changes and alignment in instruction.
