ELLoquence® Overview
ELLoquence® is a comprehensive digital curriculum for grades 6th-12th that blends high-tech instruction with hands-on, interactive activities that accelerates junior high and high school ELL students in becoming English proficient in one to two years.
With almost five million English Language Learners in the public education system, one of the biggest challenges that schools face is finding extensive, rigorous material written for students at varying levels of English proficiency. ELLoquence® was developed, designed, and vetted by our own teachers to provide a structure that gives their fellow professionals a strong level of support, making their jobs easier and more manageable. The result is more time with students and improved outcomes.
ELLoquence® allows students to become technologically literate and enables them to be competitive in the 21st Century workplace by fostering creative and critical thinking, problem-solving, communicating, and collaborating in their native language, as well as in English. Research has shown that students are more engaged when working with ELLoquence®; more engagement leads to better attendance, better completion rates, and better outcomes!

DataPoint Grade Center
Teachers love our Datapoint Grade center because:
- In our Data Points feature, grades are color-coded for at-a-glance monitoring.
- Granular grade tracking is based on assignment or assessment.
- Color coded percentages represent reading, writing, listening, and speaking outcomes by student.
- Teacher Mentors assist teachers by monitoring color changes and trends.
Dashboards for Administrators
- Administrators appreciate the efficiency to access overall reading, writing, listening, and speaking averages through our Dashboard.
- An administrator’s main goal is to be a top performing school; ourDashboard feature allows them to compare results each quarter.
- Our goal is to make sure each quarter looks better than the previous because seeing progression demonstrates the effectiveness of our products! That’s why our Teacher Mentors are proactively checking Data Points to help teachers achieve these goals.
