Posted: 07/31/05 Dual Language Education Collaborates with CAL on National Guiding Principles DocumentPrepared by the Center for Applied Linguistics The Guiding Principles for Dual Language Education were developed as a tool to help dual language programs (two-way immersion, heritage language, foreign language immersion, or developmental bilingual programs) with planning and ongoing implementation. Grounded in evidence from research and best practices, the Guiding Principles address program issues in seven strands: Assessment and Accountability, Curriculum, Instruction, Staff Quality and Professional Development, Program Structure, Family and Community, and Support and Resources. The Guiding Principles were based on the Framework of Best Practices for New Mexico Dual Language Programs and were adapted by a national panel of dual language experts and reviewers. To download the Guiding Principles Document, go to: http://www.cal.org/twi/Guiding_Principles.pdf Dr. Kathryn Lindholm-Leary's companion review of research and best practices is also a part of this exciting project.

He has served on several organizational boards that champion minority language issues including the National Association of Bilingual Education, the New Mexico Association of Bilingual Education and the New Mexico State Bilingual Advisory Committee.

A society that requires proficiency in more than one language, and the ability to function within and appreciate people from diverse cultural backgrounds”.
