Dual Language Learners: A Toolkit for Preschool/TK Directors and School Leaders

A Preschool Toolkit for Dual Language Learners

California’s two recent historic policies – the CA Master Plan for Early Learning and Care, and the English Learner Roadmap – together serve as a potent call to action underscoring a deep commitment to early childhood education, affirming the need to explicitly address the cultural and linguistic diversity of the majority of our state’s young children, confirming responsibility for meaningful access and equity, and calling for investments in building capacity and systems to deliver coherent and quality early childhood programs and services across our state.  Dual language learners now comprise a majority of young children in our state. This professional learning opportunity is designed for school leaders who now embrace TK and preschool programs on their site and for preschool program directors across a mixed delivery system. Using the framework of the four EL Roadmap Principles, the series will delve into developmentally appropriate and culturally/ linguistically supportive early education approaches. Drawing upon a new Toolkit, leaders will work with a series of readings, tools, activities, case studies and other resources to build understanding of young DLLs, knowledge about effective programs and practices, and approaches to plan and create the early education classrooms and programs and systems to center Dual Language Learners, and that leverage, affirm and develop their multiple language and cultural assets as part of healthy development and learning.

Audience:  For administrators, site leaders with TK programs, and preschool program directors

Centralizing the Needs of English Learners: ELD for Elementary Teachers and Administrators Institute

Equitable access to a comprehensive education including both integrated and designated English language development (ELD) instruction is a civil right for English learners. These six sessions, with embedded pre-work, will support teachers in designing responsive designated ELD lessons that build upon students’ knowledge across the disciplines. 

Teachers will expand their understanding of backward planning to identify English learners’ strengths and needs to provide targeted language instruction. Through this work, teachers will develop the tools needed to create the academic conditions students need to flourish. 

A Six-Session Institute continued from 2023-2024.

Strategies for Elementary Integrated and Designated ELD

How can teachers easily and effectively build language proficiency for their English learner/emergent bilingual students throughout their daily lessons? 

This interactive four-session series provides teachers with a construct and set of strategies that can be effectively integrated into existing lessons and practices. Aligned to Principle 2 of the English Learner Roadmap and the English Learner Toolkit of Strategies, participants will learn to effectively identify and address the strengths and needs of English learner/emergent bilingual students by providing targeted scaffolds and supports. Participants will develop strategies to actively engage students in all four language domains (listening, reading, speaking and writing), deepening students’ use of sophisticated academic language and tapping into their linguistic genius. Teachers will be prepared with tools and resources to implement in their classrooms.

Note: This event is geared toward elementary educators; however, the concepts could be valuable to secondary teachers and coaches seeking a deeper understanding of ELD.
