Building an Effective Early Childhood Workforce:
The Need for Professional Development for Educators of Dual Language Learners

We urge policymakers to make sure the state’s early learning system has the structure and resources to support high-quality professional learning for educators in how to work with dual language learners (DLLs) who now make up more than 60 percent of young children in the state.
