English Learner Success Forum

The English Learners Success Forum (ELSF) is dedicated to establishing and implementing best practices for multilingual learners of all ages.

With support from EBC, ELSF:

• Created the Early Childhood Guidelines for Multilingual Learners, focusing on key concepts for instructional materials in early childhood development

• Contributed to the Multilingual Learning Toolkit with valuable resources for early education and multilingual learners.

• Collaborated with educators to promote best practices for English Learner and Dual Language Learner instruction, specifically in the context of California's upcoming math adoption.

• Provided training to 88 educators and leaders, to ensure they are prepared for upcoming math adoptions and equipped to meet the needs of multilingual learners.
  The work they do turns educators into meaningful supporters of multilingual learners through adaptive, comprehensive training.
