The objectives of the "A Framework of Best Practices for New Mexico Dual Language Programs" are to provide:
1. A common definition of effective dual language programs that can be used throughout New Mexico to ensure consistent program quality and facilitate networking and collaboration among programs.
2. A tool for programs to use in designing and implementing an effective dual language program. Because these “Best Practices” are organized in a rubric format, they are especially useful as a self-evaluation tool. Programs can assess themselves and use the results to focus future program improvements and develop targeted action plans.
3. A framework for policy makers from which to draw a common definition of effective dual language programs so advocacy efforts and lobbying can be focused and effective. |
