For more than 20 years, EL Education has helped new and veteran teachers – in all types of school settings – strive for a vision of student success that joins academic achievement, character, and high-quality work. Our approach is grounded in respect for teachers and school leaders as creative agents in their classrooms. We build their capacity to ignite each student’s motivation, persistence, and
compassion so that they become active contributors to building a better world and succeed in school, college, career, and life. The EL Education model is characterized by:
• Active instructional and student-engaged assessment practices that build academic skills and students’ ownership of their learning
• Rigorous academic projects connected to real-world issues that meet Common Core and other state standards
• A culture of learning that builds persistence, collaboration, critical thinking, problem solving, communication, and independence in every student
EL Education offers a comprehensive suite of professional development, coaching, Common Core curriculum, publications, and online tools to support schools to be engaging environments where kids love to learn and teachers love to teach. EL Education partners with more than 160 schools and 4,000 teachers serving 53,000 students in 33 states, and thousands of other teachers through its professional services work in New York and other states.
