You can make education equitable for multilingual learners
We help you build prepared teachers, strong leadership, and a positive school culture so that all your students can thrive academically.
Here’s how we make a tangible difference for multilingual learners through implementation:
Professional Development
Empower your leaders to drive educational excellence.
Our Professional Development service is more than just training. It’s an investment in your school’s future and your student’s success.
Instructional Coaching
Behind every successful student is a team of teachers who inspire, challenge, and support their learning journey.
Empower your teachers with the skills, knowledge, and strategies they need to excel in the classroom.
Leadership Coaching
Our one-on-one coaching sessions, tailored to meet your needs, offer a personalized pathway to leadership development.
Build the capacities of school leaders, creating a dynamic and supportive learning environment for all students.
Transition to Dual Language
Traditional English-only instruction is being reevaluated as research and policy increasingly support the integration of dual language programs.
We specialize in guiding schools and districts through this transformative journey.
There are more than 5.1 million students identified as English learners
Education inequity is a complex problem. Cookie-cutter solutions do not address these challenges comprehensively.
This leads to the challenges most school districts and principals have when they first come to Ensemble Learning:
- "It’s challenging to address the needs of each language group effectively."
- "We often struggle with limited resources, including funding and personnel, to provide the necessary support and services for our MLL students."
- "Many of our teachers are not adequately trained to teach English as a Second Language or to differentiate instruction for MLLs in mainstream classrooms."
- "Ensuring that our curriculum and school environment are culturally sensitive and inclusive is an ongoing concern."
- "We often struggle to secure community and local resources to support our MLL programs, which can hinder their success."
- "Engaging parents who may not speak English fluently can be challenging, which affects our ability to build strong home-school partnerships."
- "We need more opportunities for professional development in MML strategies and cultural competence for our staff."
Improve strategies for educating multilingual learners
Ensemble Learning helps American public schools select and implement field-tested and research-backed pedagogical practices, leading to a meaningful transformation in how we educate all children.
Status Quo (Chronic Inequity)
- Qualified teacher and leadership shortage
- Low-quality, often mis-aligned instructional materials
- Lower access to rigorous academic courses
- A big gap in the graduation rate between MLLs and English-only students
The Ensemble Way (Promotes Equity)
- Leads to teachers and leaders equipped with the tools, skills and networks necessary to thrive in schools and classrooms.
- Cultural and academic coherence across curricular choices
- Increase student reclassifications and access to rigorous courses
- Lasting improvements in closing achievement gaps
We work with central office leadership to develop a systemic strategy to meet your individual organization and academic challenges and make change a meaningful process for your staff.
Once we understand your individual needs — really get to know you and your multilingual learners — we will customize a proposal to address your needs.
All of our engagements start with Strategic Planning & Data Analysis.
The cornerstone of our service is our Strategic Planning & Data Analysis process, which focuses on long-term success while addressing immediate needs through actionable steps.
The results of the strategic planning and data analysis process will determine the type of implementation and support you and your multilingual learners will receive from us.

To ensure we create meaningful change within schools and districts, we center our work on “Learning Cycles.”
