Californians Together

The California English Learner Roadmap is statewide policy guidance for welcoming and educating multilingual learners. Californians Together is a statewide advocacy coalition from the education community working to improve California schools and promote equitable educational policy for English learners. Its policy work addresses educator workforce development, assessment and accountability, long-term English learners, and access to the State Seal of Biliteracy. The coalition also supports implementation of the English Learner Roadmap and a stronger bilingual teacher pipeline, from early childhood through postsecondary education. It shares research-based resources, policy briefs, and recommendations, including guidance on K-3 literacy policy for multilingual learners. Its work focuses on California's 1.1 million English learners.
