"Our California English Learner Roadmap offers a vision, it is a beacon, an example to the rest of the country of what it means to honor equity, to ensure meaningful access and to embrace our wonderfully diverse population."

Dr. Laurie Olsen

Co-Chair, English Learner Roadmap Working Group 

On July 12, 2017, The California State Board of Education unanimously adopted a historic new policy for English Learners, the California English Learner Roadmap, superseding the 1998 English Learner policy stemming from Proposition 227 in 1998.  The new Roadmap policy offers a vision and direction for English Learner (EL) education that views the education of ELs as a system-wide responsibility, recognizes the need to provide EL students with a rich and challenging curriculum from early childhood to grade 12, and respects the value of English Learners' primary language and culture.
