Empowering Educators to Elevate Multilingual Learners

Improved language outcomes begin when educators understand proficiency-based instruction and know how to leverage data to drive growth. Teacher recruitment and retention thrive when schools invest in up-to-date strategies and meaningful professional learning. Programs succeed when learners see—and feel—their language progress.

At Avant MORE Learning, we understand that what comes after the assessment is just as important as the test itself. 

We partner with World Language, Dual Language Immersion, Bilingual Education, Heritage Language, and Higher Education programs at every stage—from initial design to ongoing growth and impact monitoring. Our expert team helps you build proficiency-focused programs that engage educators, empower students, and deliver lasting results.

MORE Effective Dual Language Immersion (MEDLI)

Specjaliści ds. immersji dwujęzycznej

Language is the heart of dual language immersion. That is what makes these programs so special: a student’s language proficiency is the foundation for all other core subjects.

Learners thrive in an environment where they are challenged linguistically in everyday contexts and develop holistic knowledge of real-world language use. Parents enroll their students for the purpose of achieving proficiency in two or more languages.

Dlaczego więc biegłość językowa jest często pomijana? Dzięki MEDLI nie jest.

MORE Effective Dual Language Immersion (MEDLI) is comprised of a specialist team within Avant MORE Learning. It is a global initiative with a mission to fulfill the promise of DLI– to create a world where every child is multilingual.

Co decyduje o wysokiej jakości i trwałości programu DLI? Odpowiedzialność. Jak uzyskać odpowiedzialność? Ocena oparta na umiejętnościach.

AvantZespół ds. rozwoju zawodowego pracował w nadgodzinach, aby przygotować sesje edukacyjne, które były znaczące i istotne zarówno dla nowych, jak i doświadczonych nauczycieli. Nasi nauczyciele badali różnice między wydajnością a biegłością wraz z gotowymi strategiami instruktażowymi opartymi na najlepszych praktykach.

Angela Sherman, Ph.D. Starszy dyrektor ds. edukacji dwujęzycznej i programów języków świata, Detroit Public Schools

Chcę jeszcze raz podziękować za niesamowite PD, które nam zapewniłeś. Czułem, że wykonałeś wtedy świetną robotę, a po spotkaniu z nauczycielami w zeszłym tygodniu było jeszcze bardziej oczywiste, że otworzyłeś drzwi i okna. Twoja prezentacja była celowa na wiele sposobów i sama w sobie stanowi świetny model dla nauczycieli. Będę informował personel o naszej letniej pracy i pozostawię opis twojej prezentacji nauczycielom, którzy wciąż są zachwyceni nowym zrozumieniem swojej roli jako nauczycieli. Ich entuzjazm jest co najmniej niesamowity. Jeszcze raz dziękuję za energię, entuzjazm i oddanie naszemu zawodowi. Z niecierpliwością czekamy na wiele innych okazji do współpracy.

Unlock the Power of Data-Informed Teaching

Avant MORE Learning is part of Avant Learn, our suite of tools and experiences designed to accelerate language growth. As part of Avant’s comprehensive Language Proficiency Platform™, MORE Learning delivers customized professional development that transforms assessment data into actionable insights.

Teachers often face a familiar challenge: understanding student proficiency data but not knowing how to use it to drive instruction. Even more, many educator teams lack a shared language around proficiency. Without that foundation, setting goals, tracking progress, and staying accountable becomes difficult.

That’s where MORE Learning steps in.

We build professional learning experiences around your goals—rooted in data, grounded in real classrooms, and customized to your team’s context. Whether you’re just beginning to integrate proficiency targets or ready to deepen your approach across a district, we tailor every session to your needs.

Examples of What We Offer—But Never the Limit

Every program is unique. That’s why these session types are just the beginning:

  • Translating Data into Instruction: Practical strategies for using assessment insights to plan next week’s lessons.
  • Building Shared Proficiency Language: Help your team communicate clearly about performance levels and goals.
  • Curriculum and Assessment Development: Design tasks that raise the bar for proficiency—like Integrated Performance Assessments.
  • Supporting Dual Language and Multilingual Learners: From immersion strategies to literacy development.
  • Instructional Coaching and Mentorship: Coaching cycles for educators and leaders focused on growth.
  • New Teacher and International Staff Support: Acclimation training and pathways to certification.
  • Leadership Development: Equip chairs, coaches, and administrators to lead proficiency-driven programs.
  • Long-Term Professional Learning Models: Custom packages for year-long, hybrid, or virtual implementations.

Every learning opportunity is tailored. Every outcome is connected to student success.

With Avant MORE Learning, your goals guide our work. Let’s turn data into growth—together.
