Students thrived this summer by utilizing the strategies teachers learned from ongoing WESTED Trainings and an updated English Plus Curriculum. Students participated in socially interactive English enrichment literacy instruction using methods that build on their prior knowledge. Students also participated in English specialized programs in the morning and joined the Summer Plus extra-curricular activities in the afternoon.

Here’s what some of our amazing English Plus teachers had to say: 

“I loved the books. They were excellent, fun, and provided fantastic messages to students! Students were motivated and engaged during the entire program.” -Teacher from Abington. 

“The English Plus 7/8 curriculum provided access to different learners, real world connections to the global water crisis and English Language growth opportunity.” -Park Elementary 

“The curriculum gave students the confidence to share their feelings/emotions.” -Elliot Street School
