Innovation Plan Outline – Peer Review
Technology-Enhanced Project-Based Learning for Newcomer Emergent Bilingual Students
The Technology-Enhanced Project-Based Learning for Newcomer Emergent Bilingual (EB) Students innovation plan was conceived in 2022 when my business partner and I noticed a critical shortcoming in the education of EB students in our school district. Specifically, EB students were using the same computer-based Reading/English Language Arts curriculum that general education students were using, but the EB students had not yet acquired enough English to successfully work in the platform. Additionally, the program did not offer adequate linguistic accommodations for newcomer EB students. Therefore, we offered to use resources we created when we previously worked as Reading teachers to build a Reading/Language Arts curriculum specifically designed with EB students' unique needs in mind. Although this was outside of our regular job duties and an immense balancing act, we were compelled to take action because we wanted to ensure the newcomers were given a better chance at success in middle school with content and activities that is linguistically accessible and authentically engaging. We also believe that language should not be a barrier to education.
In the table below, you will find an innovation plan outline that details our progress thus far and shows how we plan to proceed with our idea. Additionally, here is a link to the innovation proposal letter.
After reviewing, I would sincerely appreciate any comments or feedback you might have. Thank you!

Hi Nwamaka
I love how detail oriented you were able to describe the specifics of your outline and plan. Keep up the great work.
Just checked out your implementation outline and the formatting is unique definitely. This does require a lot of work on our part but most people might not mind. You put a lot of work and thought into this plan and it shows in the outline itself. I believe you are on your way and there may be things that need to be changed a long the way but you are definitely on the right path.
