Our district provides educational software programs: Imagine Learning, Achieve 3000 and Khan Academy, that gives students learning gains. However, we do not have enough computers in the classroom to use the programs with fidelity. I would like to add more computers to the classroom for my 3 distinct levels of ESOL learners. Students in group 1 are not literate in their own language with little or no formal education in their home country. Some may be cognitively underdeveloped or have learning disabilities. Imagine Learning begins with the students at their level, typically a kindergartener level with progressive modules. Students in group 2 are educated and literate in their home language but need to learn English. We have a program called Achieve 3000 that starts with short non-fiction paragraphs increasing their reading's complexity and lexile. The goal is to reach American high school students reading levels needed to pass the English high school test. Students in group 3 are seniors who are using Khan Academy. This program links to their SAT scores to Khan. They provide practice at their level from their scores and increase the difficulty in order for them to reach the number necessary for the graduation requirements. Computer learning is not the only tool in my toolbox! However, the students are very motivated using the technology to learn English and the programs improve their literacy. Literacy means better chances of graduating from high school and the opportunity to go to post-secondary​ or a trade school.
