RCOE School of Education

Leadership means preparing educators to meet the needs of tomorrow's students.

Yesterday, the Riverside County Office of Education School of Education, Center for Teacher Preparation, welcomed 25 educators to learn more about our Bilingual Authorization (BILA) Program.

As the need for bilingual educators continues to grow, we are committed to creating pathways that help teachers expand their impact and serve multilingual learners with excellence. Every educator who earns a BILA helps increase opportunities for students to learn, lead, and thrive in more than one language.

We're excited to support the next generation of bilingual educators and strengthen multilingual education across Riverside County and beyond.
Enrollment for our Fall 2025 BILA cohort is now open!
