The OFLA Vision

Every Ohio student will be proficient in a second language, which is essential to a world-class education.

The OFLA Strategic Plan

1. Establish clear expectations for foreign language learners.

2. Build the capacity of foreign language teachers to prepare learners to demonstrate their proficiency.

3. Build support for foreign language instruction among parents, policy leaders, the business community and opinion leaders in the media.
