Multilingual Education and Global Achievement

At the San Diego County Office of Education, we are passionate about unlocking the incredible potential of our multilingual learners. Whether they are English learners in structured English immersion, bilingual education (such as dual language immersion or one-way developmental) programs, or world language explorations (FLES and FLEX programs), we are committed to ensuring every student’s assets are valued and built upon in culturally responsive programs that provide every support they need to thrive.

Our team of experienced specialists is here to guide and support educators in implementing programs that best meet the needs of our San Diego County students. Our services range from effective EL Roadmap implementation at every level of the system, to guidance and support of comprehensive English language development - designated and integrated, to bilingual education, Native American student education, and technical assistance for state and federal accountability and frameworks. We facilitate professional networks, allowing educators to collaborate and learn from each other's experiences. SDCOE offers a wide range of meticulously designed professional development opportunities, equipping educators with the latest strategies and tools to support their language learners. We also offer expertise in engaging parents effectively, as we believe that parental involvement is essential for student success.

In San Diego County, our language learners come from diverse backgrounds and speak over 60 different languages. We understand and celebrate the unique qualities of each student, their culture, languages, and stories. We believe that linguistic diversity is a strength that will prepare them to thrive in our ever-growing global economy. So, whether you are a district or school leader, a teacher, a counselor, or a parent/tutor/guardian, we are here to support you in unlocking the full potential of your multilingual learners. Together, we can empower our students to become multilingual and multiliterate leaders, equipped with the skills and knowledge to succeed in college, careers, and life!
