EdReports, EdSolutions, the English Learners Success Forum (ELSF), and Pivot Learning all share a commitment to ensuring districts use high-quality instructional materials. Of particular interest to each organization is supporting multilingual learners (MLLs)* with high-quality instructional materials that address their linguistic and instructional needs. Together, the four organizations designed and oversaw a California-focused pilot review process to explore how existing, standards-aligned middle school math curriculum support MLLs. As with other EdReports reviews, the reviewers for this project were educators; for this pilot, all reviewers had experience in California and familiarity with California’s English Language Arts/English Language Development Framework. Publishers opted to participate in this pilot review process.

Please note that color-coded grade-level components of the below reports refer to how well those materials meet alignment and usability expectations in general and not how well they address the linguistic and instructional needs of multilingual learners.
All materials below have been reviewed by California and/or EdReports.org for alignment to the CCSS and the instructional shifts.

*”English Learner” is a United States Department of Education classification based on a student’s level of English proficiency. In these resources, we use the asset-based term “Multilingual Learner,” which includes English Learners, ever English Learners, bidialectical students, and may refer to students who are learning in English and those who are learning in a bi- or multilingual context.
