Emergent Bilingual Learners

Many of the recommendations outlined in this section of the toolkit have been inspired by the E3 Alliance’s ELL Rubric. The ELL Rubric is a research-based tool originally developed in fall of 2009 and piloted in spring 2010 by members of the Central Texas ELL Collaborative. It has been updated to include promising practices supporting academic growth identified in the spring of 2013 through research conducted in the Bright Spots Study for English Language Learners. This video link shares additional information about the tool.

To support teams in utilizing the ELL Rubric, E3 Alliance has designed a 3-day workshop where campus teams discover which systems and school processes support success for English language learners and develop campus-specific strategic action plans to increase achievement for ELLs.
