Reaching Every English Language Learner: From Hawaii to Texas to Connecticut

Wednesday, December 6, 2006
8:30am–11:00am

On December 6, the Alliance for Excellent Education will hold its last breakfast series of the year on the challenges related to educating ELLs. The forum will examine how one district, Kaua'i Area Complex in Hawaii, has leveraged quality instruction to improve the achievement of poor students and ELLs. Superintendent Daniel Hamada will share the secrets of Kauai's success. In addition, Dr. Margarita Calderón, Research Scientist, Johns Hopkins University, will share information on her program Expediting Comprehension for English Language Learners (ExC-ELL), which is used in secondary schools across the country. Calderón has developed a research-based approach to expediting reading comprehension that results in higher test scores, not only for ELLs, but for all students.
