Celebrating Growth in Language Learning
Discover how to use language proficiency scores/data not just for compliance, but to discuss, recognize, and celebrate multilingual learners’ progress. Participants learn how to use ACCESS, STAMP, and AAPPL scores to engage students, build motivation for language learning, and encourage purposeful participation in assessments.
The Importance of Pronouncing Student Names Correctly
Explore the power of identity and belonging through name pronunciation — a simple act that transforms relationships and school culture. Participants will explore why correct student name pronunciation matters and learn practical strategies to learn and remember student names before they meet students.
Using Data to Inform the Instruction of Multilingual Learners
Explore how data can become a meaningful tool for equity and empowerment rather than mere compliance. Participants will learn how to interpret English language proficiency data, classroom assessments, and growth trends to guide instruction, inform program decisions, and celebrate students’ language development. Through real examples and practical strategies, Sugely demonstrates how educators can use data stories to highlight student progress, communicate effectively with families, and design instruction that meets both linguistic and academic goals.

I have worked with Dr. Sugely Solano for over 3 years, watching her transform the classroom experience for multilingual learners in middle and high schools. She’s passionate and dedicated to providing a true language learning experience for all students, which shows up in how she supports her teachers with ongoing professional development, collaborative PLC opportunities, and the implementation of data-driven instruction. Sugely’s expertise comes from her own personal experience coming to the US and also her vast knowledge of what is needed to fully prepare English learners to succeed in all classes, in and out of school, and for college, and career-readiness.
ELA Instructional Support Specialist
Just wanted to reach out and say how great your presentation was. I learned a lot that I would love to bring back to my team including the Language Proficiency Toolkit. I think it is empowering and will hold our students accountable for their own learning if we incorporate them. Honestly, it did not cross my mind until today. I was wondering if I could share this with my Team?
