Curriculum Development

At Language in Practice, curriculum development is an opportunity to reimagine what equitable, language-rich instruction can look like across content areas. We collaborate with schools, districts, and institutions of higher education to design or refine curriculum that makes disciplinary language visible, builds on student assets, and aligns to state standards and local priorities.

Whether you're designing new curriculum from the ground up or strengthening existing materials, our work focuses on integrating meaningful supports for multilingual learners—particularly newcomers and students at the earliest stages of English language development. We specialize in identifying and embedding the language demands of each discipline, ensuring that students have access not just to content, but to the language they need to engage with, talk about, and make sense of that content.

We work across the educational spectrum—from transitional kindergarten through higher education—to co-create curricular units, lesson sequences, and instructional tools that reflect best practices in language and content integration. Every project is grounded in your specific context, responsive to your goals, and designed with long-term sustainability in mind.

Whether you're launching a new course, adopting new materials, or reworking existing units to better serve multilingual learners, Language in Practice brings a deep understanding of language development, content standards, and instructional design to every partnership.
