Dual Language Family Survey 2006 Selected Findings

 

---

The Project

This survey started in August, 2005 and is the work of the Dual Language Database Project. The group designed the survey to tap the six areas below.  The final survey was approved by both the Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) Research Review Clearance Committee and the University of New Mexico's Institutional Review Board. The survey, drafted in English, was translated by several translators, and a final Spanish version proofed by APS Translation Services. Most families completed the survey in November.

Survey Response

According to district records, there were 1908 dual language students attending the seven elementary schools and one middle school participating . A total of 725 families responded and allowed their answers to contribute to this report. That means this report is based on 38% of the families at those schools, which is an acceptable response rate for such a project.
