Case Study: Roanoke County Public Schools streamlines ELL management and boosts collaboration with Ellevation

Roanoke County Public Schools streamlines ESOL management in 3 years with Ellevation

Roanoke County Public Schools faced significant challenges in managing its growing English Language Learner (ESOL) population. Their paper-driven system was highly inefficient, requiring the ESOL program head to manually collect and track data via spreadsheets, which was instantly outdated due to high student mobility. A lack of collaboration was also a major issue, as valuable student information stored in folders at the central office was inaccessible to educators. To address this, the district chose to implement the Ellevation software platform.

By implementing Ellevation, Roanoke centralized all ELL data, which allowed for streamlined paperwork and enabled crucial department-wide collaboration. Educators can now easily create personalized student language plans, set customized goals, track student growth, and collaborate to embed language support into instruction. The solution from Ellevation provided tools like a goal center and data dashboard, which empowered teachers to teach more purposefully and significantly raised the district's expectations and capabilities for serving its ELL students.
