Reflecting on Your ELAC Design:

This self-reflection tool is designed to help school teams pause and look honestly at their current ELAC practices.

Using the 20 High-Impact Practices as a guide, this tool supports administrators, facilitators, and family engagement teams in identifying:

• Where your ELAC is strong

• Where growth is possible

• What small shifts could make the biggest difference
  
  

This is not an evaluation. It is a growth tool.

Use it individually or as a team to spark meaningful conversation about how your ELAC can move from involvement, to engagement, to shared leadership with multilingual families.
