ELD means English Language Development in education.
The Summit K12 English Language Development (ELD) Map is a resource we designed to support teachers who work with English Language Learners across the country in a classroom setting for grades K-12.
The ELD map offers a specific breakdown of English language development programs and regional standards by State covering grades K-12. The map also provides an overview of our personalized English language learning curriculum tied to each State’s unique program.
We created the ELD Map for ESL, Bilingual, Emergent Bilingual, and Multilingual educators. The map also provides helpful program information for school administrators, K-12 teachers, bilingual program coordinators, instructional coaches, principals, superintendents, district administrators, students, parents, and guardians.
