Description

A partnership-run programme framework and logic model that guides the adaptation, testing, and scale-up of Write to Succeed professional learning to improve English learner literacy outcomes.

Components

• SWELL partnership logic model linking teacher professional learning to English learner literacy outcomes: The SWELL logic model is a program theory that chains partnership activities (adapt, implement, and refine Write to Succeed; conduct optimization testing; conduct initial efficacy testing; statewide scale-up) through teacher-level outcomes to student-level outcomes. It states the partnership will "iteratively enhance and test the Write to Succeed professional learning program to help teachers improve their literacy instruction," so that English learner students ultimately experience positive impacts to English proficiency and literacy achievement. (Southwest English Learner Literacy (SWELL) Partnership (2023))
