Annual Report 2024: Impact on Schools and Districts

California’s progress in advancing multilingual education has been significantly shaped by SEAL’s collaboration with district leaders, principals, and educators. Through our work, we are creating lasting change that elevates educational outcomes for multilingual learners across the state.

By aligning efforts at every level—from policy to district administration to classroom instruction—SEAL works to build district-wide capacity. This collaborative approach fosters a culture where educational practices are unified, sustainable, and centered on student success. Through strategic planning, leadership development, and real-world application, SEAL ensures that each classroom reflects the values of equity, inclusion, and linguistic affirmation.‍

Case studies from districts like Oak Grove, Mountain View, and Redwood City highlight the transformative impact of SEAL’s partnership-driven approach. By integrating SEAL’s framework into district systems, these schools have strengthened teacher efficacy, deepened family partnerships, and cultivated vibrant, engaging learning environments that support both students and educators. These stories serve as powerful examples of what’s possible when collaboration drives educational transformation.

District and site leaders have made meaningful strides in incorporating SEAL into their educational frameworks, ensuring the program’s long-term success and influence. These efforts include:

• Strategically aligning SEAL with other district and school initiatives to create a unified educational approach
• Allocating dedicated resources specifically to support SEAL’s expansion and effectiveness
• Developing intentional plans for SEAL’s integration at both district and school levels
• Securing time for SEAL coaches to deepen their impact across classrooms
• Offering ongoing professional development for new teachers on SEAL practices
