How we address equity
EL Education embraces a vision of education as a powerful engine for fulfilling our nation’s promise of equal opportunity for all. Equitable outcomes for students and staff are represented by practices that support educational equity across all Three Dimensions of Student Achievement (Mastery of Knowledge, Character, and High-Quality Work). EL Education sees its role in the current educational landscape through the following commitments to all students:
-EL Education sees students as leaders of their learning. This approach to agency in education is liberatory and deeply tied to our belief that equitable classrooms contribute to building a better world.
-As an organization, we are committed to advancing equity–equity of opportunity and equity of impact and outcome.
Our work is grounded in the affirmation that literacy is a civil right.
-EL Education is organized to advance equity through high-quality instructional materials and content-based professional learning (HQIM and CBPL). We are committed to scaling our work to benefit educators and learners.

How we build district capacity
EL Education uses Local Education Agencies (LEA) as a lever for building capacity to deepen and expand curriculum implementation impact. Primary strategy is to provide LEA coaches and leaders with professional learning opportunities that allow them to internalize new content and then turnkey it directly to the teachers, leaders, and coaches they serve. LEA leaders are provided with the resources needed--videos, print text, research, and access to asynchronous, self-paced courses--to recreate learning for small districts in their respective regions. Through this core strategy of building deep capacity within LEAs, EL strategically scales the HQIM implementation knowledge and expertise.
