California Language Teachers Association
CLTA takes seriously our commitment to provide current and relevant event and resource information for the world language and culture professional.
OUR MISSION
CLTA’s mission is to REIMAGINE world language education through inspired leadership; CREATE AND SUPPORT powerful world language programs and services designed to promote multilingualism, multiculturalism, and global readiness as defining features of transformative education; and ADVOCATE for policies that move our vision to action.
CLTA WORLDWIDE REACH
CLTA has been an organization for almost 50 years, and it is time now to reap the benefits of everything we have learned, to continue to support teaching and learning, and to expand our services and resources for the benefit of teachers and learners of language and culture.
The CLTA Board is in the first year of the new Strategic Plan Process for 2017-2021. We are asking world language professionals to become a part of the planning as we move our association forward. We encourage everyone to create and maintain a dialog within affiliates to vigorously share the CLTA mission and vision with personal and group action. We encourage those who do not belong to an affiliate to begin working with a team here, to make your voice known, and to be a part of this worthy endeavor.
Seven Strategic Goals that will be our work in the coming years:
Organizational Infrastructure & Sustainability
Powerful World Language Programs
Professional Development
Membership/Affiliate Services
Strategic Partnerships
Community Engagement
Advocacy
