What Works in ELD

English Language Development (ELD) programs can facilitate a student's transition from no English, or limited English, to fluency and mastery of the language.  Having looked at what works in ELD, there are five areas which were identified:

1) Language Assessment
2) Core Class Placement
3) Access to Language
4) Language Acquisition
5) Reassess & Reevaluate

These five areas are essential to the language development of students whose native or primary language is not English, and should be analysed by connecting them to the following three categories:

1) Personal Experiences
2) Professional Experiences
3) Data & Research

The guide below shows a way that this connection can be done, you can also open the guide here  to access the file.

SPRING ON AHEAD

"The arrival of March brings with it spring.  As winter wanes we spring on ahead towards summer, and another education year will come to a close.

Manuel R. CortezRodas
Chief Educator/Founder
MRCR Education

This past February was a most productive period for me as I continue to grow as Chief Educator at MRCR Education.

The 5th Annual San Francisco Bay Area STEAM Education Colloquium demonstrated the growth that STEAM Education has achieved in becoming an important part of education throughout the Bay Area and beyond.

This was followed by a speech before the Alameda Unified School District Board of Education on English Language Development, and the need to prioritize and fund such programs while supporting the staff and students who are a part of it. 

I look forward to what may come marching in this spring, and how it can be of use to educators, as they continue their efforts to prepare today's learners and students so they may become seekers of higher education and developers of professional carriers.  

Without education, civilizations collapse under the heavy burden of ignorance and injustice. This is why education is among the most fundamental processes that allows for us, as a people, to design, develop, and create great cultures that are knowledgeable, thoughtful, and just.

Thank you for your continued commitment to education, and I look forward to sharing more with your as we gear up toward the end of the school year."

Sincerely,

Manuel R. CortezRodas - Chief Educator/Founder MRCR Education
