Supporting Equity in Dual Language

Funded by the William K. Kellogg Foundation, P-6015895-2023

SEDL is a one-year project of the Four Corners REC-1 to support member districts’ dual language programs. SEDL does not espouse a particular approach to dual language instruction. Rather, through SEDL, REC-1 can help each district strengthen its own program.
