Klett World Languages for MDCPS
Klett World Languages is a mission-driven publisher dedicated to building multilingual, biliterate learners through proficiency-based instruction. Our programs are designed to align with Florida’s World Languages Standards, ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines, and M-DCPS priorities for bilingual and biliterate education, from BISO and Extended Foreign Language programs to the Florida Seal of Biliteracy.
