Establishing Multiliteracy Programs as the Standard Program for English Learners in California

Multiliteracy for all has become a key policy vision for equitable, effective schools for California's multilingual learners. This workshop will provide an overview of a comprehensive policy agenda to establish multiliteracy programs as the standard for MLLs. A component of the agenda is high-quality materials which are key to develop advanced levels of biliteracy. Based on extensive research, the English Learner Success Forum has developed rigorous criteria to help educators identify high-quality Spanish language arts materials. These criteria will be shared with participants.
