Project RISE (Realizing Instructional Supports for English Language Learners): Improving the Educational Outcomes of English Language Learners (ELLs) in Grades 9-12

Project RISE (Realizing Instructional Supports for English Language Learners) is a program that aims to improve the educational outcomes of English language learners (ELLs) in Grades 9-12 by changing teachers' instructional practices and several key structures in which students and teachers are organized. 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. To establish these program components in participating schools, Project RISE provides instructional resources and school-level supports, such as coaching and professional development, to teachers and school leaders.
