The Multilingual California Project (MCAP) Alliance has created, Recommendations Aligned by LCFF Priority for Completing the LCAP, an innovative tool to support districts in both reporting on their current LCAP and LCP, and producing a new three-year LCAP, demonstrating how the LCFF funds are linked to meeting the needs of all students. The purpose of this MCAP-developed tool is to provide sample action items for LEAs to consider in response to their English learner student needs as they participate in Structured English immersion, Bilingual, and Dual Language Instructional Programs. To address the full range of English Learner diversity, our tool provides reflective questions and sample language for each of the eight priority areas to guide districts in focusing on English learners and families by identifying programs and allocating resources to meet their specific needs.

The CABE Pepperdine Chapter has continued to be active. We are proud to share that Vanessa Rosales, our Director of Excellence, completed her capstone project and has graduated wither master's degree. Vanessa's capstone research focused on how career services professionals assess student needs and programs in four-year universities. She conducted this study in response to the increase in diverse students enrolling in higher education. Dr. Garcia Ramos, the Chapter Faculty Liaison, and Vanessa attended CABE's Virtual Conference this year and will be sharing lots of useful information with Chapter members. The Pepperdine Chapter is planning more activities to close up the school year.
