Early Learning Series

Creating Powerful Classrooms for Dual Language Learners

Early learning is where the foundation for bilingualism, literacy, and lifelong learning begins.

SEAL’s Early Learning Series equips preschool and transitional kindergarten educators with evidence-based practices that nurture dual language learners (DLLs) and engage families as partners in learning.

Through targeted, in-person professional development, educators gain practical strategies to create language-rich, inclusive, and joyful classrooms that honor culture, build communication, and set every child on a path to academic success.

Grounded in California’s Preschool Learning Foundations, English Learner Roadmap, and ELA/ELD Framework, SEAL’s Early Learning Series helps educators connect research to practice—strengthening instruction and family engagement from the earliest years.
