Program Overview

Give your students a voice.

As Dr. Vanessa Mari notes in her recent editorial: “The Clark County School District is developing dual language bilingual schools. The ELL Master Plan published by the district shows the different types of models that will be implemented to benefit different student populations. As the only bilingual opportunity for teachers in the valley, Nevada State University strives to prepare holistic educators to not only teach in both languages, but also build on students’ background and experiences.”

Comprised of research-based teaching methods and immediate placement of teacher candidates in the elementary classroom, our state-of-the-art program stands apart from the rest, jump-starting your career right after graduation.
