"I really like how ELLAS brought the professional development to exactly what we need."

Customized Professional Development

"We [school staff] felt more successful and definitely more supported. Due to the support and coaching, we have grown as a team, as teachers, and our kids are showing the benefits as well!"

Supportive

"ELLAS job-embedded professional development helped us improve what we were doing with our students and make it more effective, so we were using our time better, so there was less time in transitions, less instructional time lost, and then making the most of the blocks of time that we did have."

Job-embedded Professional Development

"Now, I want all professional development to be like what we have with ELLAS. I want somebody to come in my room show me how to do it then we can talk about it and then I can do it and they can watch. I mean that’s like the best case scenario. ELLAS set a very high bar for any other professional learning."

Excellent Training

"I had acquired all this knowledge, all this learning, but when ELLAS came in and gave us the professional development, it just affirmed everything and then some, because it really was explicit in showing us, teaching us how we are supposed to teach reading to English Learners. I already had some knowledge, but ELLAS just made it more explicit, and easier to implement and that’s very helpful!"

Explicit

"The information we were given through feedback, planning and observations was always supportive of our teaching. We were able to work new content into our schedule in a meaningful, effective way and then receive feedback on how to continue improving."

Continuous Improvement

"I have just been very happy with all the help that ELLAS have provided us. It’s really opened up our eyes to teaching reading to English Learners and just overall learning as a teacher."
