Since 1972, the Illinois Resource Center (IRC) has provided assistance to teachers and administrators serving linguistically and culturally diverse students. With support from the Illinois State Board of Education, the IRC has emerged as a major statewide intermediate service agency, and its educational and professional development programs have helped thousands of educators throughout Illinois and the nation to develop effective learning environments for English language learners.
The IRC is an official IL-EMPOWER learning partner as designated by ISBE. Schools interested in contracting with the IRC may review information on IRC's Learning Partner page on the ISBE website, or contact us.
