What We Do For Content Developers

ELSF empowers curriculum developers to design research-based materials that meet state’s curricular expectations to support multilingual learners, giving products a competitive advantage.

The Challenge

State and district leaders are raising the bar, prioritizing materials that explicitly support multilingual learners and benefit all students. These evolving curricular expectations are impacting adoption criteria, reshaping the market, and requiring curriculum providers to adapt to remain competitive.

For product leaders, this means:

  • Centering multilingual learners in the design process
  • Embedding research-based language development into every component

How We Help

We partner with content developers to support the design or refinement of instructional materials that meet multilingual learners' needs and align with evolving market demands.

Our approach includes:

  • Actionable feedback: Research-based design choices and product features.
  • Strategic expertise: Content-specific insights.
  • Practical solutions: From experienced educators, practitioners, and curriculum specialists.

By partnering with us, you can create high-impact materials that meet state and district priorities—while strengthening your competitive edge.

Outcomes

Our work with content developers increases the availability of instructional materials that center multilingual learners’ academic and linguistic needs while meeting market demands.

With our guidance, content developers:

  • Incorporate research-backed product features to enhance language development and engagement.
  • Build capacity to design or refine materials that reflect cultural and linguistic diversity.
  • Deliver equity-focused products that align with state and district priorities.

Together, we’re expanding access to inclusive, high-quality materials that address the growing demand for equity, benefiting multilingual learners—and driving market success.

As we grow, our goal is to ensure all our K-8 Math and Literacy solutions center the needs of MLLs. As we continue to partner with ELSF, having the expertise and guidance of advisors who are deeply embedded in the work of states around policy, frameworks, and standards will be critical to our shared mission of reaching as many of our MLLs as possible.
