Language Assessment & Development

The Language Assessment and Development Department (LADD) coordinates and ensures equitable access to education for all students, regardless of their home language. The LADD’s goal is to prepare students to succeed in a diverse, global society by providing the following:

• A world-class education that closes opportunity gaps for all students
• Prepare students to live, work, and thrive in a multicultural world
• Ensure that all students have opportunities to develop biliteracy
• Equip students with world language skills
• Linguistic and academic proficiency in English and additional languages
• Access to a meaningful education

The LADD also has resources to support educators in implementing these strategies, including: Interpreters, Translated materials, and Web-based resources.
