English Language Parent Advisory Committee (ELPAC)

Welcome to the English Language Parent Advisory Council. This is our second year and we are looking forward to working together to gain trust, understanding of other perspectives, and building a stronger home-school connection. We will be meeting monthly in person or virtually through Zoom.

Understood.org

Understood is a nonprofit dedicated to shaping the world for difference. We provide resources and support so people who learn and think differently can thrive — in school, at work, and throughout life. Making an impact: Seventy million people in the United States have learning and thinking differences, like dyslexia and ADHD. But the world isn’t set up for them to thrive. We’re working to change that by raising awareness and providing resources to help people with differences reach their potential.

MA Literacy for Families and Communities

The guidance in Mass Literacy serves three purposes:

To provide information about how young children learn how to read and write and about instruction that is based in current evidence
To describe evidence-based literacy practices that DESE seeks to see used in schools, and taught in educator preparation programs
To share high-quality instructional resources and information with educators to support their instruction.
