ILTexas has been awarded two 5-year grants in 2022 and 2023 by the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) for the Chinese Advanced Language (CAL) project.
The CAL project is expected to increase the language proficiency level of all ILTexas students, with a focus on military-connected and JROTC students, through:
- Providing ILTexas Chinese teachers with advanced professional development (PD), including training and instructions from Advanced Chinese Instructional Coaches
- Providing high school students access to a free Chinese language and culture immersion summer camp
- Hiring additional Chinese language teachers at K-5 level
