Proposed new resource for English Language Development program

A new curriculum resource for English Language Development (ELD) services is being proposed by a Charles County Public Schools (CCPS) committee made up of instructional specialists, ELD teachers, parents and students. If approved, the resource will be used starting in the 2025-2026 school year.

“English 3D,” by Dr. Kate Kinsella, is being considered by the Board of Education of Charles County as a curricular resource to be used by staff and students in the ELD program. The resource is required to provide evidence-based materials and teaching practices that will support student growth in English language development. The resources are aligned MSDE and WIDA standards for ELD programs.
