English Language Learners Make Great Strides
Colorado: Greeley-Evans School District 6 officials last week got some news they hope will increase graduate rates. English Language Learning students showed improvement or significant improvement in nearly every category and grade level in the Colorado English Language Assessment test. CELA is given to students who entered the district having no proficiency or limited proficiency in English. The assessment, given to 3,600 District 6 students in January, measures how well these students have progressed in learning to read, write, speak and listen in English.
The results were nothing short of "spectacular," said Larry Kleiber, director of assessment for the district.
