The Dual Language Learner Policy Platform: Informing California’s Early Learning and Care Policies and Investments in 2020–21 and Beyond

Lead Author: Marlene Zepeda, Ph.D.

Co-Authors: Carolyne Crolotte, JunHee Doh, Vickie Ramos Harris

Informed by DLL experts and stakeholders in the early childhood field, The Dual Language Learner Policy Platform guides decision-makers to build on the assets and recognize the needs of DLLs and their families when improving our state’s ELC system. The Platform’s recommendations align with the asset-based approach to DLLs in the California English Learner Roadmap and reflect its values and spirit. Recommendations identify both short-term and long-term goals.
