TABE pursues the implementation of educational policies and effective bilingual-bicultural programs that promote equal educational opportunity and academic excellence for Bilingual/ESL students.
TABE firmly believes that only enrichment forms of bilingual education ensure that Bilingual/ESL students are successful academically and develop age-appropriate English proficiency. TABE endorses and promotes the implementation of research-based One Way/Two Way dual language programs and maintenance (late-exit) bilingual programs.
In keeping with this fundamental mission, TABE is committed to providing an annual conference to disseminate research, ideas and practices on the methods that will best serve the needs of our English language learners.
