APEX is increasing Utah educators’ knowledge and skills for teaching multilingual learners and promoting literacy, and developing curricula, research, and practice briefs for evidence-based strategies for pre- and in-service educators of multilingual learners.
The team beat out some stiff competition to land in the top 24% percentile of high performers, besting universities like George Mason, Texas A&M, Baylor, Purdue, and others. Led by 4 women of color, APEX is leading the nation in diversity through its educational offerings and through the example of its leadership team.
