Implementation Brief Series
The Center on English Language Proficiency’s (ELP) 2026 Implementation Brief Series highlights evidence-based practices that support the design, implementation, and systemic coherence of Comprehensive English Language Development (ELD). The series is designed to help Regional Content Centers, state education agencies (SEAs), and local education agencies (LEAs) translate research into actionable guidance that strengthens instructional systems and improves outcomes for English Learners (ELs).
The series brings together the core components of Comprehensive ELD across both content-based and designated ELD. Briefs 1 and 2 focus on classroom practices and systemic coherence for content-based ELD, while Briefs 3 and 4 focus on classroom practices and systemic coherence for designated ELD.
