I think anyone reading it will walk away with a deeper understanding of what it takes to develop agency in our students and realize the goal of equity for all, which in our case includes a high percentage of English language learners. This book could change the way we approach teaching English language arts using the EL Education curriculum."</p><p>Tammi Bauschka, Literacy Program Specialist, Tucson, Arizona</p><p> </p><p>"The work of implementing this curriculum at Explore Elementary has engaged our staff in moving beyond an awareness of the shifts necessary for success with college- and career-ready standards into application. This text has multiple uses, but as a leader I found it invaluable. It was instrumental in building my understanding of the ELA standards and instructional shifts in order to support my staff to grow during a time of second-order change."</p><p> Annaleah Bloom, School Director, Denver</p><p> </p><p>"The EL Education curriculum has transformed my teaching in dramatic ways. For the first time as a teacher, I know that I have a highly engaging curriculum that is meeting the needs of all of my students, today and everyday. In my 20+ years of teaching, no other curriculum could command this distinction."</p><p> Kate Gutwillig, Grade 3 Special Education Teacher, New York City</p><p> </p><p>"This curriculum has changed our lives...It has completely changed the way our teachers are teaching and our students are learning." </p><p>Liz Freitag, Instructional Coach and Testing Coordinator, Valdosta, Georgia</p><br>
