With funding from the Carnegie Corporation and the US Department of Education, Calderon and her associates developed the ExCELL (Expediting Comprehension for English Language Learners) model. From this successful program they created the ExC-ELL Observation Protocol - a tool for planning content lessons, coaching by literacy coaches not familiar with ELL instruction, supervision by administrators, teacher self-reflection, peer coaching, and conducting classroom research.

"Teaching Reading to English Learners, Grades 6-12, is useful for any secondary teacher who works with English learners, but what makes it unique is its upbeat tone, high and loving expectations for all English learners, and empathy for the challenges they face. Calderonand Slakk help teachers believe in their students, which is essential to teach them. It is rare that a textbook is such a pleasure to read." -- Robert E. Slavin, Director of the Center for Research and Reform in Education at Johns Hopkins University and Institute for Effective Education at the University of York
