Project RISE
About the Intervention
Project RISE (Realizing Instructional Supports for English Language Learners) is a program for high school English language learners in Grades 9-12 that aims to improve educational outcomes by changing teachers' instructional practices and organizational structures. The program establishes collaborative, interdisciplinary teaching teams responsible for shared heterogeneous cohorts of students in classrooms that integrate instruction of language and content using collaborative experiential projects across the curriculum. Project RISE provides instructional resources and school-level supports, such as coaching and professional development, to teachers and school leaders. Implementation occurred over four school years (2013-14 through 2016-17) in two comprehensive high schools.
