Promoting Equity

In 2012, Loyola's School of Education received a second federal NPD grant from the Office of English Language Acquisition. This 5-year, $2-million grant allows CPELL to build capacity for ESL students and their families through graduate-level education, professional development, and parent workshops.

Chicagoland Partners of English Language Learners prepares to launch Fall 2013 cohort

CPELL is a federally funded Department of Education/Office of English Language Acquisition grant program (grant # T365Z12006 ) located within the Loyola University Chicago School of Education.

CPELL currently offers 50% off tuition in either of our grant-related educational programs for eligible partner school district administrators, faculty, or staff. A valid teaching certificate is required for the Endorsement program.

District partners with two or more CPELL scholars benefit not only from graduate educational programs, but through delivery of data-driven professional development and parent programming, building capacity and enriching the entire educational community.
