Emergent Bilingual (ELD / EB)
Language is Not an Add-On
Why emergent bilinguals need curriculum built for access from the start.
Emergent bilingual students are expected to engage with grade-level standards across ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies — yet most curriculum was not designed with language development in mind.
ELD teams are held accountable for student progress, often with limited influence over core instructional materials. Too frequently, language support lives in disconnected supplements, parallel programs, or teacher-created workarounds.
Can districts support language development without fragmenting instruction?
Meeting the needs of emergent bilingual students requires more than translated materials or isolated scaffolds.
It requires curriculum intentionally designed to integrate language development into content learning.
NovoDia partners with districts to design ELD/EB curriculum that aligns tightly with General Education — supporting consistency across classrooms while addressing students’ linguistic and cultural needs.
From newcomers to long-term English learners, NovoDia equips educators with standards-aligned materials that build language proficiency while maintaining access to rigorous academic content.
Across inclusive classrooms, dedicated ELD settings, and intervention models, NovoDia helps districts implement coherent, language-rich curriculum systems — reducing fragmentation while improving clarity and engagement.
Supporting Emergent Bilinguals — Clearly and Effectively
NovoDia’s expert team, powered by our proprietary pedagogically-tamed AI platform, works directly with your district to build curriculum that is not only standards-aligned and instructionally sound—but also deeply rooted in your local culture. From featuring local poets, musicians, athletes, and scientists, to including real community settings, traditions, and values, we ensure that your students don’t just learn—they connect.
