Format & Pricing
We offer ELLA in three formats to accommodate your scheduling needs.
Year-Long ELLA Training Focused on Student Engagement and Interaction, Structured Academic Talk, and Academic Vocabulary Instruction
This format includes six, three-hour workshops and ten days of implementation coaching. The total cost, including all workshops, materials, and technical assistance, is $48,000.
The three-hour workshops are for up to 35 participants, and are flexibly scheduled throughout the school year. Each workshop is designed so that participants learn manageable chunks of evidence-based, practical information that they can use in their classrooms before attending the next workshop. Each workshop includes structured reflection, opportunities to practice new strategies, and time to troubleshoot newly tried practices.
The ten days of onsite technical assistance, which includes demonstration lessons and peer reflective coaching sessions, support teachers with what they've learned in the workshops.
Half-Year ELLA Training Focused on Academic Vocabulary Instruction
This format is similar to the year-long training but is focused on academic vocabulary instruction. It includes three, three-hour workshops and five days of technical assistance. The total cost, including all workshops, materials, and technical assistance, is $24,000. Optional follow-up coaching/implementation support for this format is available.
