What We Do For California Education Leaders
ELSF partners with district, county, and regional offices in adopting high-quality instructional materials to meet state standards and effectively support multilingual learners.

How we can collaborate
Adoption support
ELSF reviews adoption frameworks and strategies and provides feedback to ensure the adoption processes centers multilingual students.
Adoption training: Making the Case
This introductory session provides a powerful rationale for prioritizing the needs of MLs duringcurriculum adoption.
Adoption training: Adoption Webinar Series
Across three interactive sessions, ELSF equips participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively center MLLs throughout the curriculum adoption process.
As the 3rd largest district in CA, we have a responsibility to lead the state in ensuring and demanding that when we are adopting curriculum we have clarity ourselves of what we expect in our curriculum…so that when we work with curriculum developers and curriculum companies we can express what those needs are.
It’s about weaving students’ thinking into instruction; giving students a voice. That’s what a high-quality curriculum does. Then, we need professional learning to support teachers in maximizing that curriculum. That’s what we did in this project and why we made so much progress.
