LAS Links Users Share Ideas for Optimizing ELL Education
Monterey, CA — December 14, 2010 — The CTB/McGraw-Hill English Language Proficiency Collaboration and Research Consortium (ELPCRC) has completed their first annual 2010 Summit, convened to discuss English Language Learning (ELL) issues and challenges. The Summit focused on today’s critical initiatives, including alignment of ELL programs to the Common Core Standards, strategies for 21st Century Skills, tools and methods for identification of ELL students, and future development of ELL resources.
"The annual Summit is a forum for achieving tighter collaboration between CTB and its customers," said Ellen Haley, president of CTB/McGraw-Hill. "Participants share their experiences, with the common goal of improving consistency, uniformity and quality in their ELL programs. CTB, in its role as facilitator, receives practical feedback that we can use to advance ELL education though LAS Links®, CTB’s integrated system of English language proficiency assessments and instructional tools."
Formed in 2007, the English Language Proficiency Collaboration and Research Consortium — which includes member states Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana, Maryland, and Nevada — is a means for educators to pool resources towards the improvement of ELL testing and instruction. Consortium members utilize CTB/McGraw-Hill’sLAS Links English language assessment for Federal Title III reporting of Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAO) in their English as a Second Language programs. LAS Links is used by schools and districts nationwide to meet federal, state and local requirements for English Language Learners, including initial placement and progress monitoring.
