CEEL is pleased to announce the publication of the English Learner Roadmap Toolkit for Institutes of Higher Education. This Toolkit was developed to address the education of English Learner and Multilingual students in California’s current university credentialing programs for teacher education, counseling, and educational administration/leadership.
The purpose of this Toolkit is to: (1) provide a context for California’s university and other professional credentialing programs’ obligation to engage in reflection and (re)design processes that prioritize preparation of candidates who are well-equipped to serve culturally and linguistically diverse students in preschool–12 settings; (2) delineate the process and results of an examination of the alignment between the standards for Teacher Education, School Counseling and Educational Administration/ Leadership Credential Programs and the California English Learner Roadmap; and (3) offer tools that can support the urgent need for a more precise alignment of the educator expectations and the CA English Learner Roadmap to meet the needs of California’s English Learner and Multilingual student population
We invite you to access the toolkit on our site.
We would also like to extend an invitation to our upcoming Higher Education Institute: (Re)designing Educator Preparation Focused On Equity For English Learners/Multilingual Students in collaboration with Californians Together. These virtual two-session institutes will allow attendees to learn about the CEEL EL Roadmap Toolkit for IHEs and engage with IHE teams to use the resources in the Toolkit to develop a strategy for (re)designing preparation programs or coursework to address the teaching and learning needs of future educators. If you are responsible for designing and implementing teacher, counselor, or administrator preparation programs at UCs, CSUs, or a private institution we invite you to contact us at CEEL@lmu.edu for more information.
