Education Northwest Service Spotlight

Education Northwest offers a variety of services that align with Title IA recovery funds and are consistent with ARRA principles. For example, our ELL Program Reviews yield research-based recommendations tailored to address the unique context of a school or district.

An ELL Program Review begins with a site visit during which data are collected from sources such as classroom observations, interviews with staff, and focus groups with students and parents. Collected data are analyzed using a framework of current research on effective practices in ELL teaching and learning. The findings presented describe what's working and what might be done to improve policies and practices that affect ELL students' academic progress, and can be used as the basis for developing a school improvement plan focused on the needs of the ELL students.

"It's our goal to equip stakeholders with data and a research background that can help everyone get on the same page for making effective ELL program improvements," states Linda Griffin, who manages Education Northwest's ELL Program Reviews. To discuss how a review can strengthen your site's ELL program, e-mail Lynette Thompson or phone 800-547-6339, ext. 482. Education Northwest also offers mathematics and technology program reviews.
