Welcome to Project Success

Project Success (2001-2005) was a collaborative effort between Emporia State University, the Educational Services and Staff Development Association of Central Kansas (ESSDACK), and the U.S. Department of Education. Funded by the Federal Training for All Teachers grant, Project Success allowed up to 60 teachers (20 each year for three years) from eight Kansas school districts to complete their ESL certification through Emporia State University.

Project Success' goal was to help teachers develop appropriate and effective strategies, resources and curricula to assist English Language Learners (ELLs) in meeting the state standards. Teachers participating in this grant:

Received tuition fees for 15 credit hours of classes from ESU that result in ESL Certification from the State of Kansas.
Were awarded $1,000 upon completion of the courses, PRAXIS II and ESL state endorsement.
Gained assistance from resource personnel for addressing individual student learning needs.
Had access to new resources and materials; develop new competencies to improve learning for students with limited English proficiency.
Networked with other teachers of students with ELLs.
Enhanced cross-cultural communication skills that lead to parental involvement focused on increased student learning.
Improved technology use for the teaching-learning process.
