Strategy — secondary English acquisition

Camino Academy LLC scopes secondary programs for schools with growing English Language Learner (ELL) enrollment and limited bilingual ELL FTE — a balanced approach: sheltered and integrated practice in content classrooms paired with direct instruction for ELLs when your master schedule requires it. Job-embedded PD maps to SIP priorities and documented Title III professional development needs.

Connect + Assess (CAMINO C + A): intake aligned to WIDA bands and SIP priorities — belonging, academic language, tiered services.
Model + Immerse (M + I): sentence frames, EduProtocols-style visual frameworks, and retrieval routines teachers can run next week.
Navigate + Own (N + O): cross-curricular literacy moves and transfer tasks tied to content objectives — not language objectives that stay on the board.
Project-based learning: authentic products with language scaffolds and formative checkpoints your coaches can observe.

Student work & scaffolds

Representative secondary artifacts — Frayer-style vocabulary, Sketch & Tell, warm-up paragraph models, and collaborative geography tasks.

Student Frayer-style notes on the Industrial Revolution with sketch column — Content vocabulary — definition, describe, draw, example structure.

Student Sketch and Tell notes on Reconstruction era — Sketch & Tell — visual + written explanation in content class.

Annotated student warm-up paragraph with transition words labeled — Warm-up paragraph model — general statement, transitions, conclusion.

Student imperialism unit notes with Uncle Sam sketch — Content notes — academic vocabulary in student voice.

Collaborative U.S. regions geography map and compass rose activity — Collaborative geography — regions, compass rose, peer work.

Secondary students collaborating at desks with literacy posters on walls — Peer collaboration in a secondary English classroom.

Frameworks (EduProtocols)

Sample units integrate EduProtocols (Fast & Curious, Frayer, Sketch & Tell, and related frames) with explicit language functions for ELLs. EduProtocols materials are used with attribution to Jon Corippo and the EduProtocols team; Camino designs bilingual scaffolds and WIDA alignment around those structures — we do not claim ownership of the EduProtocols brand.

Classroom tools may include retrieval games (e.g., Blookit, Kahoot, Wayground) when they support spaced practice — selected for your bandwidth and device policy, not as a default add-on.

Research — retrieval practice & visual frameworks for ELs

Peer-reviewed and practitioner research supports teacher-led spaced retrieval and cautious use of gamified quizzing for vocabulary and engagement — especially when routines are short, repeatable, and tied to content objectives.

"Spaced practice retrieval [is] the single most important variable" for learning; "information frequently retrieved becomes more retrievable."

— Halpern & Hakel (2003), cited in Dahl (2021), MinneTESOL Journal (teacher-led spaced retrieval for content vocabulary with university ELs).

"Gamification is associated with minor improvements in assessed performance, particularly in vocabulary and reading" while effects depend on "element mixes, social format, pacing, and assessment timing."

— Wang & Tahir (2025), Education (critical review of gamified quizzing in EFL/ESL classrooms).

Agenda tied to objectives

Content and language targets posted where teachers and students can see the week's protocol — not objectives that disappear after the bell.

PD in practice

Educator and colleague at community book fair — Literacy beyond the bell — community book fair.

Technology & ethical AI

When scoped with your leadership team, AI-assisted tools may support immediate feedback on drafts, retrieval checks, or family-facing translations — always with human review and clear limits.

Every engagement begins with a consultation that defines what AI may and may not do in your context (FERPA, board policy, tool approval) before any program audit or curriculum build. Camino does not position AI as a replacement for licensed ELL educator judgment or live student relationships.
