What We Do to Support Content Developers Designing for California
ELSF partners with curriculum developers to design and refine high-quality instructional materials that align with California’s requirements and support multilingual learners.
The Challenge in California
California state leaders have prioritized multilingual learner success through the California English Learner Roadmap and the California Math Framework. With the current math adoption process underway and the upcoming ELA/ELD adoption, the demand for rigorous, multilingual-learner-focused materials is clear.
How We Help
As a core member of the CalCurriculum, we have been involved since the early stages of California’s materials adoption process. Our team brings deep knowledge, insights, and hands-on experience to help content developers navigate state requirements and integrate research-backed features that strengthen language development.
Outcomes
With over 1.1 million multilingual learners in California, curriculum adoption and implementation decisions in the Golden State have a far-reaching impact. By working with ELSF, content developers gain the knowledge and tools to strengthen their materials, ensuring they align with California’s expectations.
