Colorado Congress of Language Teachers
The fall conference is Saturday, October 18, 2025.
Academic Standards
In 21st-century society, the study of more than one language is not only absolutely essential to the core curriculum but also imperative to the economic growth and continued prosperity of the United States. Language and communication are essential to the human experience.
Curriculum Support
Article IX, Section 16 of Colorado's constitution states, "Neither the general assembly nor the state board of education shall have power to prescribe textbooks to be used in the public schools." However, CDE can still serve as an advisor to help districts and schools adopt, adapt, develop, or use the materials of their choice.
Instructional Support
Instructional support is grounded in CDE's shared approach to Best, First Instruction as well as practices and strategies supported by professional organizations and scholars at the leading edge of world languages education.
Community
There are many opportunities to connect and grow as a professional educator with the larger world languages education community, including mailing lists, professional organizations, and events.
