Research, outreach, and professional learning opportunities for educators and other stakeholders who support the growing number of Multilingual Learners (MLs) across our state and the nation. CLASE is an educational research and development center that provides outreach support through mentoring/tutoring of Latino students; program support in developing a pipeline to post-secondary education for L

atino students; professional development and resources for K-12 educators working with Latinos statewide; and research to inform teachers and educators on ways to reduce the achievement gap of Latino children, especially in Georgia. CLASE aims to narrow the achievement gap of Latino students placed at risk due to poverty and language barriers and to improve the level of education of Latino students statewide by researching and disseminating promising/best practices for Latino education; developing and supporting appropriate programs by leveraging federal, state and private funding; and creating and enhancing partnerships to improve the learning and social outcomes of Latinos in Georgia and the nation. CLASE provides a national model for how higher education can respond in a coherent, engaged and timely manner to demographic changes at the local and state level.
