About Multilingual Education Reform Collective of Indianapolis
Multilingual Education Reform Collective of Indianapolis LLC supports school leaders in the planning and implementation process of Multilingual Learning programming to ensure not only compliance, but equitable instruction for students. So often school systems, structures, and schedules are built for English only speakers and then consider Multilingual Learner supports as supplemental. This puts Multilingual Learners at a disadvantage, minimizes the importance of their diverse academic needs, and disregards the asset that is multilingualism. The goal of Multilingual Reform Collective of Indianapolis is to ensure that Multilingual Learners are at the center of school planning, professional development, and pedagogy so they can achieve their full academic potential.

Our vision is educational equity and linguistic liberation for all.
COLLECTIVISM
We believe that it will take a network of dedicated stakeholders to rebuild
school-based structures and systems centered on the asset of multilingualism.
INTEGRITY
The needs of Multilingual Learners are our number one priority. We will not waver on what we know is ethically and morally just for Multilingual Learners in Indianapolis. We believe that our transparency and authenticity are key in maintaining our integrity as we serve our community.
EQUITY
We believe educational equity for multilingual learners means access to rigorous and culturally sustaining instruction where school systems and policies create an asset based environment for students to receive specialized support to achieve their full potential.
LINGUISTIC LIBERATION
We believe linguistic liberation for Multilingual Learners means dismantling systems of oppression by creating environments that highlight multilingualism as an asset which privileges their languages, dialects, and funds of knowledge.
