PACE Academy: From Concept to Reality

Darah Griffin and Dawn Rezin, PACE administrators, were integral in making their implementation plan and supporting teachers throughout the process. In their video they talk about their purposeful plan, how EBLI is different from other reading instruction, how EBLI individualizes instruction, and what their students and teachers think about EBLI. There is also a lot of great footage of EBLI instruction in action in the PACE classrooms.

I recently spent the day at PACE, teaching in the EBLI trained classrooms to get video footage (used to support EBLI trained teachers). The students were automatic with the EBLI process and most were already accurate readers and writers – even the Kindergarten students. PACE is a fantastic school to visit if you are interested in seeing EBLI in action and seeing what these little ones are capable of doing. The energy and enthusiasm of the students and staff is contagious; I didn’t want to leave!
