Mission Statement

The Language and Culture Resource Center focuses on initiatives that increase the language proficiency, language diversity, and cultural awareness of the students in our component districts.

We achieve this mission by:

  1. coordinating instructional initiatives through Itinerant Services and the Gifted & Talented Resource Center to create a menu of program options,

  2. taking advantage of powerful learning tools made available through Instructional Technology Integration Programs and the School Library System, and

  3. offering teachers quality professional development opportunities through our School Development Services.

WSWHE BOCES has been awarded a federal grant called StarTalk. This grant will be used to support the Summer 2010 Chinese Language Immersion and Culture Program. Details will be posted shortly.

In the meantime, contact Peggy Sharkey (psharke@wswheboces.org or 518-581-3581) with any questions that you may have.
