Multilingual Department Directory
Welcome to the Multilingual Department
Welcome to the Multilingual Department
The Multilingual Department exists to ensure that all students in Minneapolis Public Schools have opportunities to develop language competency through multiple strands of programming.
Our programs are designed for students in Minneapolis Public Schools to gain cross-cultural competency and achieve full bilingualism and biliteracy to succeed in a globally interdependent world. The cultural and linguistic diversity of the students we serve is our greatest strength. We strive to create quality learning environments that respect, reflect, and accommodate this diversity.
English Language Development programs
promote academic achievement of multilingual students who qualify for English Language Development services through research-based instructional strategies, language-rich learning environments, and affirmation of student, family, and community assets.
Dual Language programs
are designed to support students in emerging fully bilingual and biliterate in both English and their home language.
World and Indigenous Language programs
are available K-12 in ten languages, including Heritage language programs, to provide opportunities for all students to be global multilingual leaders through the development of multicultural competency and proficiency in a language other than English.
The
Minnesota/Multilingual Bilingual Seals program
recognizes students who demonstrate proficiency in a language other than English. These awards recognize the assets of bilingualism and offer bilingual students an opportunity to earn college credit from MN State Colleges and Universities.
Our Vision
Every English Learner bilingual and biliterate, college and career ready
Our Core Values
Our work is guided by the following values:
Bilingualism is an asset
All teachers are teachers of English Learners
All MPS staff are responsible for the success of English Learners
Every parent is a partner
