CABE and Partners Awarded
State EWIG Grants
on EL Roadmap...
|
|
Californians Together
(CALTOG) and the
California Association for Bilingual Education
(CABE) are proud to launch two complementary
$5M Educator Workforce Incentive Grants
awarded by the
California Department of Education
. Both grants are designated to support implementation of the visionary and comprehensive
California English Learner Roadmap Policy.
In recognition of the need to build capacity throughout the state in order to implement the recent comprehensive CA English Learner Roadmap policy, the California legislature earmarked $10 million in Educator Workforce Incentive Grants that were awarded by the California Department of Education in March 2020
just before COVID-19 became a grim reality for our state.
The result is a pivotal moment for English Learner/Dual Language Learner education in California—
a moment of elevated needs resulting from lost schooling and access for English learners due to COVID-19, an urgent crossroads for groundbreaking English learner policy in a state lacking capacity to implement, and an opportunity to bring resources and research-based responses into the hands of educators as tools to address both the educational harms resulting from the pandemic and to simultaneously pursue a vision of powerful dual language schooling for our state.
CABE’s Multilingual California Project,
is an effort of the
Multilingual California Alliance
involving five
County Offices of Education
(
San Diego, Orange, San Bernardino, Fresno and Butte
) and
San Diego State University,
along with at least 20 statewide LEAs. An Advisory Council comprised of renowned experts in the field of Biliteracy and English Learners will collaborate and support this effort.
Californians Together’s EL RISE!
(English Learner Roadmap Implementation for Systemic Excellence!) is a collaboration with
Sobrato Early Academic Language
(SEAL) and
Loyola Marymount University’s Center for Equity for English Learners
(CEEL), the
National Resource Center for Asian Languages
, and
20 County Offices of Education.
Together, these sister grants will reach educators throughout the state, engaging counties serving 94% of the English Learners in California schools.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT INITITATIVE (CEI)
REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS DEADLINE IS
EXTENDED TO SEPTEMBER 28, 2020
The
Community Engagement Initiative
(CEI) is a state-wide effort intended to strengthen the System of Support by building the capacity of school districts to authentically engage one another. The
California Collaborative for Educational Excellence
(CCEE), the
San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools
(SBCSS), the
California Association for Bilingual Education
(CABE), and
Families In Schools
(FIS) invite any interested school district in California to submit an application to serve in the Community Engagement Initiative’s Cohort II
Peer Leading and Learning Network (PLLN).
This Network (Cohort II) will join Cohort I districts in leading the CEI’s efforts to build statewide capacity for authentic community engagement, with a focus on improving outcomes for all students, particularly English Learners, low-income students, foster youth, and students from other underserved groups.
As districts have spent the past months focused on supporting and planning for the immediate needs of students, educators, and families in their communities during these unprecedented times, the submission deadline for the CEI: PLLN Cohort II has been extended to
September 28, 2020
.

Alimentando el corazón, la mente y el alma...

A todos los educadores que defienden el derecho de los niños a mantener su idioma materno...
—Poema de Alma Flor Ada en
Escucha a Alma Flor leyendo en voz alta su poema, Bilingüe:
|
|
Bilingüe
Porque hablo español,
puedo oír los cuentos de mi abuelita
y decir familia, madre, amor.
Porque hablo inglés,
puedo aprender de mi maestra
y decir
I love school.
Porque soy bilingüe,
puedo leer libros y books,
tengo amigos y friends,
disfruto canciones y songs,
juegos y games,
y me divierto el doble.
Y algún día,
porque sé hablar dos idiomas,
podré hacer el doble de cosas,
ayudar al doble de personas
y hacer lo que haga el doble de bien.
