Historical Note

National Association for Bilingual Education (NABE) is an American advocacy group that provides teacher training, educational leadership, and lobbying efforts on behalf of legislation regarding individuals learning English as a second language. NABE supports the education of English language learners through: professional development language learners; partnerships with other civil rights and education organizations to fight for the interests of language minority students; lobbying at federal and state levels to ensure adequate funding of all programs that serve English language learners; grassroots advocacy to mobilize parents and communities on behalf of educational excellence and equity; and campaigns to educate the public about the effectiveness of bilingual education.

NABE's mission is to "advocate for our nation's Bilingual and English Language Learners and families and to cultivate a multilingual multicultural society by supporting and promoting policy, programs, pedagogy, research, and professional development that yield academic success, value native language, lead to English proficiency, and respect cultural and linguistic diversity."
