There are no specific Common Core Standards for English learners; rather, the literacy standards, common across all subjects, are applied to English learner content. The existing California English learner content standards remain in place, allowing educators to focus on the reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills of their students in addition to the important historical information that must be covered in their content classes.
Standards
Review the previously adopted California content standards for K-12 subject matter, including English Language Development and World Languages.
