    Our History

    In August 2013, the Board of Regents approved the creation of the center and its operation as a designated Center within the Texas A&M University System. Today it conducts research and service for state and federal entities in the areas of teacher professional development and English language acquisition for English learners through rigorous science instruction and curriculum. The center also conducts research internationally in non-English speaking countries, such as Costa Rica and China, to promote English language learning.
