CA Webinar 2: Centering Multilingual Learners - What to Look for in ELA Materials and Why Early Literacy Can't Wait
Webinar recording: California's ELA, ELD & SLA Adoptions
In this webinar, we walk through the ELA Must Haves that should anchor any curriculum materials review, then look at what "coherence" means in practice: how the early literacy landscape connects to the broader adoption, drawing on findings from ELSF's UPK-2 landscape project and California's context for MLLs.
In this session, you’ll walk away with:
- The three ELA “must-haves,” which are the three most commonly missing, inconsistent, or misunderstood elements in ELA materials.
- A clear picture of where early literacy fits within the adoption coherence picture.
- Key findings from ELSF's UPK-2 landscape project on gaps and opportunities in California.
- Practical resources to share with your team.
