Revolutionary Breakthrough in Personalized Instruction for English Language Learning Students Produces Higher Literacy and Achievement
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Feb. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Renzulli Learning announced a revolutionary breakthrough in personalized instruction of English Language Learning (ELL) students.
Renzulli Learning allows educators to easily personalize instruction and assign learning activities tailored to each student's ability and strengths.
The Renzulli Learning English Language Learning Accelerator (ELLA) produces higher math and reading achievement for ELL students.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, ELLs are the fastest growing segment of the public-school population. There are nearly 5 million ELLs, which is approximately 10% of the student population. 77% of ELLs speak Spanish.
Educating ELLs in English based upon Common Core standards is one of the greatest challenges faced by American schools and significant achievement gaps continue to exist between ELL and non-ELL students. In the NAEP reading assessment, for example, ELLs scored 36 points lower at the 4th-grade level and 44 points lower at the 8th-grade level than their native English-speaking peers, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
Nearly 90 percent of ELL students are enrolled in programs in their schools, but few programs provide access to quality personalized instruction tailored to student needs. Research demonstrates that ELL Learners achieve higher achievement scores when educators use personalized instruction and collaborative grouping with native English-speaking peers.
The Renzulli Learning system allows teachers to group ELL students with native English speakers to facilitate highly effective Peer Assisted Learning Strategies.
Renzulli Learning's Chief Executive Officer, Michael N. DiMauro stated, "We have implemented a new design in Renzulli Learning which allows us to easily translate the student learning profile into any language. This allows teachers to assess students in their native language and view the results in English."
Renzulli Learning enables ELL students to be assigned personalized activities in Renzulli Learning at their English language proficiency level. "This breakthrough transforms Renzulli Learning to a potential solution to the greatest challenges in ELL instruction," stated DiMauro.
Renzulli ELLA enhances student achievement using the principles of Renzulli Learning, such as interest-based enrichment and project based learning and applies them to ELL.
Renzulli Learning has been proven to produce superior achievement for all students and provides an easy cost-effective differentiation system for teachers to close the Achievement Gap for ELL students.
"Closing the Achievement Gap for ELL students is one of the greatest challenges faced by American educators. Solving this problem is critical to America's future economic growth and global competitiveness," explained DiMauro.
Renzulli Learning is an interactive online learning tool that provides personalized instruction for students. Renzulli Learning has been used by millions of students and more than 100,000 teachers in schools across the globe.
