[Testimonial] Lexia English is ‘opening up doors in the world’ for NYC students
To aid English Language Learners at the 23 Uncommon Schools across New York City, Dr. Jiel Joseph and her educators turned to Lexia English Language Development™, and the results have been impressive.
“For me, the work is a social justice call to be able to be a champion,” said Dr. Joseph, senior regional manager for special education and English language learners at Uncommon Schools NYC. “When I can teach a kid how to read, everything is available to that child.”
Lexia English is a state-of-the-art English language learning solution for K–6 students created to help Emergent Bilinguals reach their academic potential. Its systematic scope and sequence maps content to language proficiency standards, and creates personalized learning paths for all students.
Dr. Joseph loves seeing the growth in her students now that they have more access to the English language through Lexia. This approach has been instrumental in transforming the life of one student at Uncommon Schools who arrived in the country as a quiet, withdrawn kindergarten student with no English language proficiency, Dr. Joseph said.
“Seeing her last year, seeing her this year, and her saying ‘Hi, Miss’ to me was so huge,” she said. “And now, she is participating in direct instruction. She is participating with her teachers and her classmates and using Lexia®.”
