District Partnerships

We work alongside district partners to implement the top-rated EL Education K-8 Language Arts curriculum with strategic planning and professional learning support. Our partnerships are validated by rigorous 3rd party research showing that the EL Education curriculum, paired with PD, measurably lifts teacher practice and yields higher student achievement.

District partnerships enable results through:

  • Shared vision, beliefs about student potential, and strategy for success
  • Research-informed K-8 Language Arts curriculum and Core Practices
  • Highly-rated professional development and coaching for teachers and leaders
  • Curated resources, including celebrated education books and videos and progress monitoring software.

"EL was vital to the success we experienced. Using the curriculum changed instruction. No longer did we view standards separately. Instead, [we] were able to see how one built upon the other. The curriculum cycled back. Student voice was heard. The text task and target were all aligned to the instruction. Furthermore, through the use of protocols, the curriculum assisted with classroom management."
