English Learner Roadmap in Collaboration Across California (EPiCC) - enrollment now open

SEAL is proud to play a pivotal role in the EPiCC initiative (English Learner Roadmap Power in Collaboration Across California), a transformative statewide effort to support multilingual learners through the Educator Workforce Investment Grant: Effective Language Acquisition Programs (EWIG: ELAP). Funded by Assembly Bill 185, this $10 million initiative unites Sacramento, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Orange County Offices of Education to drive key goals:

  • Integrated language development across content areas
  • Bilingual and biliterate proficiency
  • Statewide implementation of the EL Roadmap Policy

SEAL's Impact Across California

As a trusted partner, SEAL is actively supporting three of the four EPiCC zones, providing high-quality professional learning opportunities for P–12 educators, paraprofessionals, school leaders, and counselors. This year, SEAL is delivering 23 impactful sessions, including FREE virtual trainings and an in-person ELD Institute, equipping educators with the tools and strategies needed to effectively serve multilingual students.

Why Participate in EPiCC?

EPiCC is a collaborative effort spanning four regions and 58 county offices of education to build the capacity of local educational agencies (LEAs) in implementing effective language acquisition programs. The initiative offers professional development aligned with the Statewide System of Support (SSOS) and Quality Professional Learning Standards, ensuring every participant gains actionable insights to advance their practice.
