Case Study: Tulsa Public Schools improves EL instruction and data management with Ellevation

How Tulsa Public Schools is taking its EL Program to a higher level

Tulsa Public Schools worked to improve its EL program for a large population of English Language Learners, facing challenges with fragmented data, compliance demands, and classroom teachers struggling to differentiate instruction. The district turned to Ellevation, using its EL data management platform and Ellevation Strategies to create a central home for EL data and make student information actionable for teachers and school leaders.

Ellevation helped Tulsa Public Schools streamline compliance, design individualized student plans, and give classroom teachers practical instructional strategies for supporting ELLs. By training all teachers on Ellevation Strategies, the district saw teachers become less stressed and more confident, while students received better-targeted instruction. The case study does not provide hard numeric outcomes, but it reports stronger instructional support and improved teacher retention and satisfaction in classrooms serving many ELLs.
