Our project will build on last year’s efforts: Implementation of social and emotional learning strategies combined with culturally sophisticated curricula aimed at increasing the academic rigor and student achievement in our 10th- and 11th-grade ELA classes, which contain a large number of identified and unidentified English learners. We will use looping with our 11th-grade students from last year to gather additional data regarding the effectiveness of SEL practices on student achievement, which will facilitate expansion of our cultural curriculum redesign to the 12th grade; offer coaching to teachers; and continue our technology efforts by creating or expanding digital portfolios for sophomores and seniors.
