English Learners

California is a vibrant and dynamic state of extraordinary global influence and is unsurpassed in its cultural and linguistic resources, yet too many of its children and youth are ill-prepared for the incredible opportunities that await them. The adoption of the CA CCSS in ELA/Literacy and the CA ELD Standards and the development of English Language Arts/English Language Development Framework for California Public Schools: Transitional Kindergarten through Grade Twelve represent California's commitment to ensure that all its students receive an education that will enable them to take advantage of possibilities, pursue their dreams, and contribute to the wellbeing of California and the world. The most promising futures await our students and our society when we ensure that all individuals acquire strong literacy and language skills across the disciplines. ELA/ELD Framework
