Guided Language Acquisition Design (GLAD®) is an instructional model for TK-12 that supports the vision of the California English Learner Roadmap policy by strengthening educational programs and practices for English learners. Project GLAD® supports the implementation of integrated English-language development (ELD) and designated ELD. This model provides full and meaningful access to a 21st century education that results in attaining high levels of language proficiency and mastery of grade level standards.
Project GLAD® supports teachers in developing their expertise to fulfill the promise of the California EL Roadmap and the Global CA 2030 initiative by all content areas with language development, whether in English, Spanish, Mandarin, French, etc. Project GLAD® classrooms are content-rich, language functional environments that support student construction of literacy and the joy of teaching and learning.

New! Ongoing Support for Project GLAD® Implementation
Once your site has completed Part 1 of the Project GLAD® professional learning series, you have the opportunity to send a lead from your school site to attend the SDCOE Project GLAD® Network. The purpose of the network is to create a culture of learning by sharing resources to build precision and pedagogical practices to improve student learning, support designated ELD and integrated ELD, and the implementation of the CA EL Roadmap.
