At Orenda Education, we are driven by a commitment to ensure that every student, regardless of background, receives the education they deserve—a true, right, and just education. This week, we’re thrilled to bring this commitment to the 2024 ACSA Leadership Summit in San Diego, where Dr. Robin Avelar La Salle and the Orenda team will be leading an interactive session titled “Accelerate Learning for Long Term English Learners.”

What You Can Expect: Our session dives deep into “The Acceleration Formula,” a transformative model designed to maximize achievement growth for Long Term English Learners (LTELs). This unique approach combines high-impact, low-prep strategies rooted in research with practical, real-world applications. By setting a high and clear standard, we aim to equip schools and districts with the tools they need to break down systemic barriers and dramatically improve outcomes for historically underserved students.

Key Takeaways: Participants will gain actionable insights into how even small improvements can help students stay on track to reach grade-level proficiency. Dr. Avelar La Salle will also cover the importance of growth-focused metrics, showing how a focus on growth rather than deficit allows us to set a high floor for all students’ learning potential.

Special Offer: As a token of our appreciation, attendees of the session will receive a complimentary, signed copy of Dr. Avelar La Salle’s latest publication, Where Equity Lives. This book is a valuable resource for leaders dedicated to creating equitable learning environments and is sure to inspire you on your journey to make impactful changes in your district.

Session Details:

• Date: Friday, November 15, 2024
