This session presents a new P-3 Framework for building systems for EL/DLL success across the crucial developmental phase ages 3 – 8, articulating pedagogical and system design principles based on effective practices for EL/DLLs, culturally and linguistically sustaining approaches, dual language development, and experience serving immigrant and EL communities. Leading experts discuss components of the Framework (curriculum/instruction, workforce, family/community partnerships, assessment, accountability) with field-based examples. Over a third of U.S. children 0-8 have non-English-speaking parents. This is a time of opportunity and urgency to adopt an EL-centered P3 framework, as significant investments in education are underway.
