Together, these strategies build educator capacity, reduce barriers to Bilingual Authorization, and strengthen sustainable bilingual programs that serve multilingual learners. Participants engage in research-based dual language professional learning, receive individualized coaching with clear milestones toward authorization, and access financial support for testing, coursework, and related costs.
This integrated approach increases completion rates and strengthens high-quality bilingual instruction. We invite LEAs to attend a short virtual information session to meet the team, ask specific questions related to your context, and learn how neighboring districts are amplifying this opportunity to build their local bilingual teacher pipeline.
