Texas A&M University-Commerce, in collaboration with Region X Education Service Center and two local school districts, Greenville and Garland, are implementing ¡Listo!.

¡Listo! will be offered at the following GISD campuses:

¡Listo! is a comprehensive project designed to help bilingual, ESL, and general education teachers meet the needs of English language learner (ELL) students.

TeachersThe ¡Listo! project will address the needs of 40 higher-education faculty members; 1,500 teachers at the participating schools; 1,000 low -income, minority parents; and 3,000 students, 1,000 of whom will be ELL students.

The word "listo" is a Spanish word literally meaning "ready", but also has a connotation meaning "sharp" alluding to intelligence and success. For example, in English, we may say "He's a really sharp student." ¡Estamos listo para un año fantástico! We are ready for a great year!
