The CLLIP literacy initiative is closely aligned with the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, established so that No Child is Left Behind. This initiative includes a strong research component to assess results and establish accountability, works closely and collaboratively with all stakeholders in local districts, and includes a proven parent component (Jordan, Snow & Porche, 2000). The foundation of the CLLIP is an extensive teacher training program grounded in theoretical (Snow, 1991) and empirical work (Beals, 1993; Snow, Tabors and Dickinson, 2001) that emphasizes the primacy of language development as a critical foundation of early literacy and school success. |
