We built Coteach EL for all the reasons we created Coteach for IM. Most importantly, high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) like EL Education play a crucial role in ensuring that all learners engage with rich grade-level content.
But exposure to great content doesn't guarantee that every learner grows into a grade-level reader and writer. We know that accelerating students' ability to engage with materials by building onramps, just-in-time supports, and customizations is the most effective way to drive growth. Building and implementing these supports, however, is genuinely difficult – especially when students arrive with varying levels of readiness, and teachers teach multiple classes or subjects, each with its own set of differentiation and customization needs.
In developing Coteach – for both IM and EL – we've spoken to hundreds of educators, and they've consistently described their challenges with creating access to high-quality, grade-level content for all their students. Some of the common themes we’ve heard:
These are just a few examples of where Coteach for K-5 EL can significantly help. And like its IM counterpart, what makes Coteach EL special is that it draws directly from EL Education's K-5 Language Arts Curriculum – its modules, units, lessons, and teacher and student-facing materials. So when Coteach makes recommendations, it does so with a deep understanding of EL's guiding questions and learning targets, what students should know and be able to do over the course of a unit and module, and a pedagogical approach that is rooted in the science of reading and building knowledge.
