The Department of Language and Cultural Equity is dedicated to providing resources and supplemental materials that meet the 3 Goals of Bilingual Programs.
Thank you, bilingual teachers, for your dedication to our students!
We know that multilingual learners (those served in a bilingual program and/or an English-only ELD program) have needs that are different from their non-bilingual peers. Taking students' varied linguistic backgrounds into account, we compiled research, guidance and resources for APS' dedicated educators.
