Welcome to the English/Language Arts Teaching and Learning Project

The English/Language Arts Teaching & Learning Project, launched in October 2004, brings together English/language arts teacher leaders representing every DPS high school to study research-based reform in our discipline. The goal is to redesign high school English courses to align with current thinking on best practices, and in doing so, close the achievement gap between better and poorer performing students and provide better opportunities for all students to achieve growth in English courses.
