One Project Two Pathways
Pathway 1: The SEAL TK-5 Model will be implemented in LAUSD elementary schools currently employing the SEAL Model in grade TK-3 classrooms. Grade TK-3 teachers will receive coaching and access to professional learning resources to deepen SEAL implementation. Grade 4-5 teachers will receive the two-year SEAL PL, creating an articulated implementation of the SEAL TK-5 model.
Pathway 2: The SEAL Grade 4-5 English Language Development (ELD) Model has been created for teachers in schools that have not implemented SEAL at the TK-3 levels. It emphasizes professional learning for English Language Development (ELD) for grade 4 and 5 teachers to bolster language and literacy learning and support prevention of LTEL status. This pathway allows the SEAL model to be implemented and evaluated on a larger scale in LAUSD.
Teacher Professional Learning Feedback
At the culmination of their 2-year professional learning cycle, teachers completed an end of year feedback survey to guide continuous improvement. At that time, the majority of Pathway 2 teachers reported full or partial implementation of the SEAL High Level Pedagogical Practices.
