Summary:
'Constructing Meaning', which offers an accelerated approach to instruction that emphasizes both academic English and critical literacy skills, thereby supporting all students with specific strategies in acquiring the analytical language necessary to meet the demands of content standards. The E.L. Achieve program is a universal design teaching strategy for all students in general education and AP classes and is noted to be highly supportive for EL, RFEP, LTEL 504, SPED, AVID, and Supervised Study students.

El Achieve focuses on teachers looking at the language demands of their specific disciplines and the cognitive tasks that their disciplines ask of students. These teachers learn practical instructional strategies focused on intentional routines and structure for academic student talk.

This program will train 40 - 50 teachers for the 23-24 school year and elevate our IST into a trainer status so that they can train the rest of our teaching body the following school year.

In addition, we will have a small group of Administrators that are also being trained in a separate Leadership strand.
 
Funding:
Title II will fund $50,775 for the contract.
