Early Edge California and American Institutes for Research (AIR) released the Multilingual Learning Toolkit last month, an online hub of research-and evidence-based instructional resources and strategies on how to best-support multilingual learners (MLs) in grades pre-k to three.
Additional Information
The Multilingual Learning Toolkit website provides an overview of foundational principles of dual language learning and development. Additionally, educators can access a wide variety of instructional strategies and resources related to the following areas:
- Family Engagement
- Social-emotional Health and Development
- Classroom Environment
- Oral Language Development
- Literacy Development
- Bilingual Classrooms
- Home Language Development
- Additional ELD Strategies
- Content Learning
- Assessment
- Building Educators’ Capacity
New resources will be added on an ongoing basis. While the Toolkit draws heavily from California-based policies, programs, and resources, practitioners across the country may find value in accessing this online hub of research-based, asset-focused principles.
