Available in Fall 2011 for Professional Support Providers…
The Texas English Language Learner Instructional Tool (TELLIT) for Math is designed to be implemented by Professional Support Providers (PSPs) on campuses where a significant ELL population exists and that demonstrate inadequate instruction provided to and/or low performance of Hispanic and/or Economically Disadvantaged students. Targeted campuses may be Academically Unacceptable (AU) or at risk of becoming AU campuses. The intended outcome of this tool is to give principals on these campuses a snapshot view of the math instruction being provided to the English language learners and to suggest ways in which the instruction might be improved.
Available in Fall 2011 for District and Campus Instructional Leaders…
The Texas English Language Learner Instructional Tool (TELLIT) for District and Campus Instructional Leaders is intended to help campus and district instructional leaders conduct walk-through classroom observations, provide meaningful feedback to classroom teachers regarding the instruction English language learners (ELLs) receive on campus, and use the data gathered during observation to establish goals for professional development and/or the campus improvement plan.
