Both agencies have worked collaboratively in connection to the Student Achievement and Development Grants that are awarded each year by the JCCC Foundation. We look forward to partnering with the IRC for many years to come.” Tetsuro Mitani , Executive Director of the JCCC and Secretary/Treasurer of the JCCC Foundation Attending classes at the IRC was an eye opening experience into the world of EL/Bilingual learners. It has inspired me to teach with strategies and a social justice perspective that ensures all students receive an equitable education.” Tracy Sohn , Teacher, Chicago Public Schools and featured in the film documentary No Small Matter Ten years ago, I took my first ESL/Bilingual endorsement courses with the IRC and attended critical professional development sessions to support my Dual Language teaching career.

Sterling Morton High School District 201 For the last 5 years, the Illinois Association for Latino Administrators and Superintendents (IALAS) and the IRC have formed a collaborative relationship, which foments not only a deep understanding of the needs of teachers, serving in a multilingual environment, but also administrators serving the needs of their staff in multilingual and multicultural districts. We are proud to call ourselves partners. Illinois Association for Latino Administrators and Superintendents (IALAS) We’ve partnered with the IRC to offer on-site endorsement courses for over five years. It has been a powerful support to our teachers in meeting the needs of diverse English Learners in their classrooms. Having the courses on site allows our staff to foster connections across buildings. Teachers have shared that they have developed a deeper understanding of their students’ background and experiences, have more strategies at hand to support their students and feel more confident in their ability to support and serve their students.” Danette Meyer , Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources, Schaumburg CCSD 54 Illinois Resource Center | 2626 S.
