English learners (ELs) are expected to become proficient in academic English and learn the same rigorous academic content required of all students. To succeed, ELs require specialized instructional support for academic language development in core content courses (integrated ELD) and specialized support (designated ELD) for English language development (CDE, Implementation Support for the ELA/ELD Framework).

Services for English Learners Department offers the resources on this site to provide SVUSD teachers with materials they can use to support their intentional lesson design for their ELD courses. These resources support the framework below that advocates for distance learning course design that addresses all language domains.
