CPS Vision & Mission for Language Learners in CPS
The Office of Language and Cultural Education (OLCE) exists to guide Chicago Public Schools in providing a high-quality education for all language learners that is attentive to a culturally- and linguistically-diverse community of students, families, and educators. OLCE aims to achieve this mission through strategic planning, collaborative partnerships, professional development, and the production of tools and resources to improve instruction.
Language education is critical to learning and success in college, career, and life in the 21st century. Language education includes developing the native-language and English-language proficiency of English learners, strengthening the English skills among native-English speakers, and providing all students with the opportunity to learn a world language.
