Promoting equitable early learning and care for dual language learners

Description:

This brief describes components of early learning and care that are critical to foster the learning and development of DLLs, including salient research and educational policy. The information in this brief informed the development of the California Master Plan for Early Learning and Care. Information includes benefits of bilingualism and the importance of home language support and a discussion of systemic barriers to addressing the needs of DLLs. Of particular concern are identification and assessment of DLLs; preparing the early learning and care workforce to serve DLLs; program approaches that support the home language and promote bilingualism; and, program improvement infrastructure that addresses the unique needs of DLLs.
