Building District Capacity to Support Mentors and Teachers in the Academic Language and Literacy Development of Young English Learners

A project from UC Davis REEd, supported by a National Professional Development grant from the U.S. Dept of Education/ Office of English Language Acquisition.

This project investigates the knowledge and practices needed to support the enactment of a set of research-based, high impact practices for developing the academic language and literacy of young emergent bilinguals (EBs). The contribution of this work is in combining a focus on young EBs (TK-2) with online resources to support home and family engagement.
