Bilingual Education

Welcome to the Bilingual Education Hub at the BC Lynch School of Education and Human Development. At the Hub, we are committed to educational efforts that support language and literacy development for multilingual students in Massachusetts and U.S. schools. Our applied work is grounded in long-term partnerships with schools and districts. It includes state-approved bilingual education endorsement coursework, research on bilingual teacher education, and bilingual curriculum development work.

“The program is set up with bilingual instructors who can receive assignments and provide feedback in English or Spanish. Teachers really appreciate that their language carries weight and value.”
