Since 1975, the National Association for Bilingual Education has been a non-profit membership organization that works to ensure that language-minority students have equal opportunities to learn English and succeed academically. NABE’s priorities include: Improving instructional practices for linguistically and culturally diverse children; providing bilingual educators with more high-quality professional development opportunities; securing adequate funding for the programs serving limited-English-proficient students; and keeping the rights of language-minority Americans clearly in focus as states and communities move forward with educational reforms.
