Since 1993, Course Crafters, Inc. has specialized in developing high-quality content and products for the growing population of English language learners (ELLs) in the U.S., as well as English learners around the world. We have created scores of successful bilingual and English as a Second Language programs for educational publishers, including Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Rigby, LeapFrog SchoolHouse, and Berlitz, and in December 2007 we had our first proprietary program published by Perfection Learning: the Academic Language Notebooks: The Language of Math. Course Crafters is also the author of the online ELL Reference Center, published by EBSCO Publishing, a leader in the library market. More recently, Course Crafters (Lise Ragan) is the co-author of the HMH Family Engagement program, a research-based curriculum to support effective partnerships between schools and immigrant families, preK-12. Course Crafters published the first and most comprehensive research available on the K-12 ELL market (The Course Crafters Guide to the ELL Market), and provides consulting services to organizations looking to address the needs and opportunities in the English learner/dual language market--the fastest-growing segment of K-12 in the US. Lise Ragan and Course Crafters have provided consulting, product development, and strategic planning services to scores of global educational organizations, including publishers, educational technology companies, start-ups, nonprofits, and investment firms.
