L³IFT Institute

Returning in 2026!

Transform Your Teaching. Empower Every Learner.

The L³IFT Institute is an immersive three-day professional learning experience designed for educators who are committed to advancing language, literacy, and learning for all students, especially Multilingual Learners (MLs).

Through hands-on collaboration, you’ll explore the Learning, Language, and Literacy Integrated Framework for Teaching (L³IFT) — a research-based model that integrates disciplinary literacy, language development, and culturally sustaining practices. The Institute emphasizes high-challenge, high-support classrooms where every student is equipped to succeed through scaffolding, translanguaging, and explicit attention to academic language.
