New York Charter Schools' Educators See Dramatic Improvements for Bilingual Students With Lexia

“I think that when teachers are in the midst of the work, it is hard for them to step back and see the fruits of their labor,” Dr. Jiel Joseph, a senior regional manager for special education and English language learners at Uncommon Schools NYC, says in this video. 

With Lexia English Language Development™, Dr. Joseph says teachers now get to have their “stop and smell the roses” moments when they compare initial reading assessments to where their students are now. 

Lexia English, which integrates speaking, listening, and grammar across all subjects, is now being used in all 23 of the Uncommon Schools in Brooklyn, New York. For many students, this is the first time they are getting access to the language, yet they find it fun and easy to use. The system also makes it easy for teachers to monitor progress and data points, so they know if they need to pivot to meet their student’s needs.

“In such challenging times, we know what teachers are experiencing,” Dr. Joseph says. “It's a challenge, and they need to see that their work matters and that their students are growing.”

Lexia English is a state-of-the-art English language learning solution that weaves culture and individualized learning paths together to create the best learning environment for each student.
