    English Language Learners: Transition Through Technology
    .

    This white paper examines the issues faced by schools in transitioning ELLs to mainstream curriculum, and considers how technology can provide a scalable means for educators to effectively target instruction. It also looks at best practices for the use of technology to meet the needs of ELLs, and discusses the alignment of the Academy of READING and the Academy of MATH to these requirements.

    Question: I have two classes that were engaged with the Academy of READING and Academy of MATH for the fall semester. In January, they will no longer be taking the reading and math intervention class but many of them have not finished all of the skills in their assigned individualized training program (ITP). How can I measure gains and demonstrate their progress to date?
