Mission and Vision Statements

VISION STATEMENT
Guided by principles of linguistic equity, justice, and diversity, the CSU Council on Plurilingual Educators Preparation envisions a transformative and equitable bilingual and multilingual education. Grounded in a decolonial framework and a commitment to the linguistic rights of children and their families, our vision is to foster a critical lens, social justice, and equity-centered practices in teacher educators' roles and responsibilities. In our teaching and working with communities, we strive to disrupt systems of oppression, counter hegemonic narratives, and decenter whiteness. As a collective, our community-centered languaging approach affirms people's multiple identities, values linguistic pluralism, and recognizes the cultural funds of knowledge.

MISSION STATEMENT
Through a pedagogical approach that is inclusive and student-centered, the CSU Council on Plurilingual Educators Preparation is on a mission to prepare educators who promote plurilingualism and challenge and resist English supremacy and hegemonic policies. We advocate for linguistic and social justice, supporting the dismantling of oppressive systems while valuing all languages and ways of languaging.
