With funding from the Carnegie Corporation and the US Department of Education, Calderon and her associates developed the ExCELL (Expediting Comprehension for English Language Learners) model. From this successful program they created the ExC-ELL Observation Protocol - a tool for planning content lessons, coaching by literacy coaches not familiar with ELL instruction, supervision by administrators, teacher self-reflection, peer coaching, and conducting classroom research.
