Spring 2024 Events

Meeting of the Texas Joint Committee for Language (TJCL)

With sponsorship from Avant Assessment and the Region 10 Education Service Center, our cluster will host the inaugural meeting of the Texas Joint Committee for Language (TJCL), an initiative aimed at advancing language education across the state of Texas. The meeting will unite K-20 representatives from world language programs  with the common goal of furthering language education in the state of Texas, breaking down unintentional silos between K-12 and Higher Ed language programs, and fostering collaboration among educators, administrators, and other stakeholders. With the overall vision to articulate K-20 pathways for language students, ensuring a seamless transition from primary and secondary education to institutions of higher learning, the event will bring together participants from 9 different higher ed institutions and 15 K-12 representatives from 10 different districts. Executive board members from the Texas Foreign Language Association (TFLA) and the Texas Association for Language Supervision (TALS) will also be present.
