National Dual Language Education Teacher Preparation Standards©DLeNM 2018
Transforming Educators to Pursue Linguistic Freedom

The National Dual Language Education Teacher Preparation Standards-NDLETPS provides a sound framework of standards, anchored in relevant theory, to support PK-12 [16] dual language educator preparation programs.  The NDLETPS are fully adopted by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP)

Act Now:  Project Multilingual Education

The recent Executive Order #13166 declares English as the official language of the U.S., disregarding the rich multilingual and multicultural fabric of our nation. Adding to this concern, the administration has shut down the Office of English Language Acquisition (OELA), the very office responsible for supporting English learners and ensuring schools meet their needs.   This decision threatens the education and future of multilingual students. We must take action to reinstate OELA and advocate for inclusive language policies.

Sign-on to the following petitions and contact the oval office, governor your state and US representatives.
