Improve the Academic Achievement of English Learners 3 Ways Pearson Professional Development can help your district close the achievement gap for English learners. 1 2 3 Implement a scientifically validated framework for teaching both academic content and language skills in ways that are proven to be more effective for ELs. Understand specific considerations for ELs in the RtI process. Make the most of the research-based EL resources that are embedded in your Pearson curriculum. Results Snapshot: The SIOP Model Brockton High School, MA Between 2003 and 2009, Brockton High School dramatically increased the percentage of ELL students passing the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS). Because of this success, The Rennie Center for Education Research & Policy profiled the Bilingual Program at Brockton High School as the most effective ELL program among urban high schools in the state of Massachusetts. Brockton school leaders cite the adoption and training of all teachers in the SIOP Model as one of the key factors in its success. Percentage of Brockton HS ELL Students Passing MCAS 80 60 40 20 0 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 ELA a 255% increase Math a 158% increase Why does SIOP work for Brockton? It gives ALL of our teachers, our ESL teachers and our general education teachers, a structured and reliable format that can be implemented in their classrooms, and it increases the achievement of all of our students, particularly our ELLs.
