To advance social justice in education, with the support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the America’s Languages Portal is now ready to list and describes programs advancing equity and access in language education. These programs are intended to serve as models of how to meet the language education needs of historically underserved learners, including emergent bilingual populations (Native American, heritage, immigrant, refugee, Latinx) as well as People of Color and high-poverty rural and urban populations.
The Portal invites programs to fill out an application questionnaire that demonstrates how they advance equal access to language education. Upon approval by teams of distinguished educators across the country, programs will be entered on the Portal for educators to emulate, stakeholders to promulgate, and funders to support.
Organizations advancing social justice in education are encouraged to inform their constituents of this significant effort in support of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in this country.
