Region 18-TxCEE is partnering with the American Institutes for Research to propose a research project called Middle School Collaborative Language Acquisition Strategies for Success (MS CLASS) that implements professional learning activities to improve classroom instruction for Emergent Bilingual (EB) learners. TxCEE is seeking school districts to provide a letter of interest and possibly partner to implement MS CLASS for a pilot in 2024-2025, or in full for 2025-2026 or 2026-2027. If your district has a 20% or greater population of Emergent Bilingual students as well as a willingness to engage in research activities, please submit this letter of interest on your district or school letterhead to Jessica Navarro at jenavarro@txcee.org.
