New York, NY -- Expeditionary Learning Schools (ELS), a national school improvement organization, has added 19 schools this year. The ELS network now includes 165 schools in 29 states and the District of Columbia, reaching approximately 46,000 students and 4075 teachers. The increased national impact of ELS follows another year of strong test scores in ELS schools across the country. ELS provides intensive teacher training and school coaching to schools of all kinds – elementary, middle, and high schools; charter schools and district schools; urban, suburban, and rural schools; and schools with a broad range of student populations – that wish to improve student achievement and engage students deeply in their learning.
