This bill established a process for California state preschools to identify dual language learners in order to support and strengthen their language development and competencies. This measure helps inform program curriculum, strategies used in educational settings, professional development, and provides other additional support for dual language learners. This bill creates the criteria to define dual language learners, establishes a process to identify children that would benefit from a dual language program at our state preschool programs, and collects relevant aggregated non-identifiable data to develop future curriculum.
