Dual Language Intensive

The District of Columbia Public and Public Charter School educators are set to receive targeted professional development through a two-part intensive training series designed to build foundational knowledge and practical strategies for dual language instruction. The program includes one full-day in-person training session and one half-day virtual session, structured to equip educators with effective tools to implement dual language programs within their classrooms. This initiative is led by the Office of the State Superintendent of Education and is aimed at enhancing instructional quality and equity for students in multilingual learning environments. The contract, titled Dual Language Intensive, was posted on July 23, 2026, as a forecast opportunity under the agency's responsibility to support educator capacity building across the District. While specific details such as solicitation number, NAICS code, and set-aside information are not yet defined, the training is explicitly intended for educators serving D.C. public and public charter schools. The training components are designed to complement each other, combining face-to-face collaboration with flexible virtual engagement, ensuring broad accessibility while maintaining depth of instruction. The program reflects a strategic investment in language acquisition and culturally responsive teaching practices within the District’s education system.
