Ellevation: Helping English Language Learners Thrive

Education

Posted March 2018

At Emerson Collective's 2017 Demo Day, Founder Teddy Rice explained Ellevation's vision and impact.

There are 5 million English Language Learners in U.S. schools, yet two-thirds of teachers report feeling underprepared to adequately help this group of students succeed. Ellevation's technology helps bridge the gap by providing teachers and administrators with the tools they need: streamlining compliance and reporting obligations, facilitating collaboration with other stakeholders, and providing instructional guidance.
