Presented by ELLEVATION Education


Ellevation Education's Strategies PD is a research-based professional development solution designed to equip all teachers — not just EL specialists — with the knowledge and instructional techniques needed to effectively support English learners in every classroom. Serving over 50% of EL students nationally, Ellevation understands that the responsibility for multilingual learners' success extends across the entire school, and their PD modules reflect this whole-school approach. The on-demand professional learning modules are job-embedded and aligned to both Integrated and Designated English Language Development standards, making them practical and immediately applicable. Each module provides teachers with research-based instructional frameworks, graphic organisers, writing prompts, and sentence frames that scaffold learning for English learners at all proficiency levels. The training covers essential strategies including vocabulary development, academic language instruction, comprehensible input techniques, and culturally responsive teaching practices. Districts using Ellevation's Strategies PD have reported significant gains in EL student achievement, with some schools seeing increases of up to 25% in students meeting state growth expectations.
