The primary purpose of the ELL program is to provide training and resources
to teachers, administrators, and paraprofessionals to support instruction and
achievement for English language learners.
As a part of this goal, the English Language
Learners Program offers two options for teachers to obtain California Teacher of
English Learners (CTEL) certification to teach English language learners. In
addition, the ELL program offers the California English Language Development
Test (CELDT) administration training annually.
Customized trainings are also available on various topics, including: English
Language Development (ELD); Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English (SDAIE)
strategies; Standard 19 Teaching English Learners requirement for new teachers;
and SB 472 professional development for English learners.
The English Language Acquisition Consortium (ELAC), coordinated by the COE,
gives school district representatives an opportunity to meet regularly and
provide a support mechanism in the implementation of effective programs for
English learners.
