Adopting Math Curriculum with Multilingual Learners in Mind: Guidance for California

California’s math curriculum adoption cycle offers a critical opportunity to improve math instruction for over 5 million students—including 1.1 million multilingual learners (MLLs).

With two-thirds of students performing below basic proficiency on the Nation’s Report Card and only 10% of English learners meeting math standards in California, the urgency for change is clear.

Join us for this free, 45 minute webinar to explore ELSF’s newly updated Math Curriculum Adoption Toolkit—designed to help districts ensure that selected materials are aligned with the 2023 California Mathematics Framework and meet the diverse linguistic needs of all students.

We’ll also highlight how leaders can guide and support local education agencies (LEAs) throughout the adoption process, and how ELSF’s professional learning services can enhance this work.
