Professional Development that Counts: Earning CPE Credits with Dual Language PD

Supporting Your Bilingual Teachers While Meeting Certification Requirements

District and campus leaders across Texas understand the critical role professional development (PD) plays in ensuring teachers are prepared to meet the diverse needs of emergent bilingual students. But with competing demands on teachers’ time, how can we ensure that PD is meaningful, aligned with best practices in dual language education, and supports teachers in maintaining their certification requirements?

At Palafox Education, LLC, we believe in professional development that counts.

As a TEA-approved Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Provider, we offer customized, evidence-based workshops for bilingual and dual language educators—and teachers earn CPE credits for all sessions, complete with a certificate to support their certification renewal.

Why Prioritize CPE-Aligned PD for Your Dual Language Teachers?

1️⃣ Meet State Certification Requirements While Building Capacity

Texas teachers need CPE credits for certification renewal, and bilingual/dual language educators often seek sessions aligned with their unique classroom needs. Our workshops ensure your team earns CPE credits while building practical strategies in:

  • Dual language program implementation

  • Spanish foundational literacy and lectoescritura

  • Content-based language instruction

  • Sociocultural competence and culturally responsive practices

2️⃣ Practical, Research-Based Strategies

All sessions are rooted in the latest research on bilingualism, biliteracy, and language acquisition, ensuring your teachers leave with strategies they can apply immediately to support emergent bilinguals.

3️⃣ Tailored to Your Campus and District Needs

Whether your campus is building a new dual language program or refining your biliteracy practices, we customize sessions to align with your instructional goals, student population, and existing program model.

Topics We Offer for Bilingual and Dual Language PD

  • Evidence-based literacy instruction for Spanish reading

  • Biliteracy and cross-linguistic connections
