Connect the whole ELD picture with key data and workflow updates to Ellevation
How a connected ELD system brings clarity, alignment, and confidence to EL programs
As districts work toward more cohesive, data-driven support for multilingual learners, one challenge continues to emerge. When information resides across disconnected tools, it becomes difficult to build a comprehensive and accurate picture of student progress.
Ellevation was built to address this challenge by bringing instructional insight, compliance workflows, and student context together in one connected ELD system. With recent and upcoming enhancements to foundational data and workflows, Ellevation helps districts complete the whole picture—supporting clearer decisions, stronger alignment across teams, and less manual work throughout EL programs.
By strengthening how data flows across the platform, these updates reinforce a core promise: when EL work happens in one system, educators can spend less time managing logistics and more time focusing on student growth.
Multi-student insight designed for shared understanding
Preparing for key EL meetings—such as program reviews, progress monitoring conversations, or end-of-year evaluations—often requires pulling information from multiple places. In many districts, that means reviewing individual student records one by one or reconciling insights across separate systems. Updates to Ellevation Forms strengthen one coherent system to make data-informed decisions throughout the year.
New updates to support a more unified approach.
With consolidated, printable, holistic summaries of meeting and monitoring processes, teams can now view the most important information across multiple students in a single snapshot. Instead of navigating siloed workflows, educators gain a clear, shareable view of student progress, accommodations, and outcomes—designed to support collaboration and informed decision-making—all using Ellevation Forms.
Stay aligned with automatically updated form cycle data
Timely data plays a critical role in how districts support multilingual learners. But when teams are responsible for manually refreshing the information they see throughout the compliance process, maintaining accuracy can become difficult—and compliance work can feel heavy.
Ellevation helps reduce that burden by keeping all data in Forms cycles aligned as work progresses. Unfilled records now update automatically, while in-progress work surfaces clear prompts when attention is needed. This approach enables teams to consistently work with the most current information, eliminating the need for additional steps or guesswork.
The result is a smoother, more reliable experience—one designed to help instructional insights, student information, and compliance data stay connected over time.
Family Communication Spotlight
Completing the picture of family outreach
Family communication often happens across multiple channels—from physical mailings to in-person delivery—making it difficult for districts to track outreach in one place. Ellevation now supports unified family outreach tracking, allowing educators to mark forms sent outside Ellevation as Sent offline and add optional notes directly to the student profile.
By capturing all outreach—digital and offline—in a single system, districts gain clearer visibility, stronger compliance documentation, and a more complete understanding of how families are engaged throughout the year.
Coming soon: Keep student rosters current as programs evolve
EL programs naturally change throughout the year as student rosters shift. Keeping workflows aligned with those changes can quickly become manual and error-prone, particularly for districts managing large or complex programs.
With upcoming enhancements in the first half of 2026, Ellevation will automatically check for roster updates and include newly identified students in active Forms cycles. This reduces the need for ongoing maintenance and helps ensure workflows continue to reflect current program participation.
Coming Soon: Bring structure and clarity to growing EL programs
As multilingual learner programs expand, districts often manage dozens of workflows across grades, campuses, and purposes. Without clear organization, maintaining visibility and momentum can become increasingly challenging.
Upcoming enhancements within Ellevation are designed to bring more organization directly into EL workflows—allowing teams to group, sort, and manage work in ways that reflect how their programs operate in practice. By simplifying navigation, large-scale processes become easier to oversee and sustain.
These improvements further Ellevation’s vision of a complete, unified ELD solution—one that brings program management, instructional planning, compliance workflows, family engagement, and benchmark insights into a single, coherent hub. With clearer organization and deeper integration, districts are better positioned to move from insight to action with confidence.
Completing the picture—together
Ellevation plays a central role in how districts bring EL data, instructional insight, and compliance workflows into one connected experience.
As Ellevation continues to expand with tools like Benchmark, these platform enhancements help ensure districts don’t just gain additional capabilities—they gain clarity. With a unified system at the center of EL work, districts are better positioned to see the full picture, build trust in their data, and support confident, coordinated action across teams—all in service of multilingual learner success.
