Reviews / Votes
"Due to the valuable insights, research-based best practices, and practical tips included in An Educators' Guide to Dual Language Instruction, we have used it as a core text for our teacher candidates pursuing their Bilingual Authorization in Spanish for several years. We cannot wait for the second edition!"-Stephanie Dewing, Associate Professor of Clinical Education and Chair of the Bilingual Authorization Advisory Board, University of Southern California's Rossier School of Education
"This is such a powerful resource for district and school leaders who need a practical step-by-step guide in implementing a dual language framework or improving the implementation of an existing program. An important step for success is how to engage, educate and onboard the community for a successful implementation. This guide is intentional in including this strategy and more."
-Lulu Buck, Former Dual Language Immersion Consultant for the Colorado Department of Education and current Education Equity Coordinator for St Vrain Valley Schools
