Velazquez Press and Center for Academic Language Development (CALD) have partnered up to provide research-based strategies and supports for the learners of academic language in K-12 classrooms. 
 

Center for Academic Language Development (CALD)’s mission is to promote, research, and develop educational resources for multilingual learners via academic language development.  The nonprofit will help create initiatives and support to empower districts, administrators, and teachers to prepare their students with academic language demands. Through their research, they will support learners and address issues such as Long-Term English Learners, primary language support, and family engagement.
