Accelerating ELA Skills for At-Risk Students in a Blended Learning Model

This session will introduce participants to Pearson's Inspired Literacy (iLit) program which was developed from research-proven instructional models to dramatically improve ELA skills for At-Risk students including ELLs. Using a blended learning approach, teachers are engaging students through iLit to increase grade level gains of two or more years in a single year. Participants will be exposed to iLit's research design as well as evidence based longitudinal studies demonstrating successful use within schools across the country. A brief overview of the program components and implementation models will also be provided to participants.

This talk was presented at:
