Advancing Equity in Dual Language Education: A Guide for Leaders
Multilingualism is a key skill for our future. Dual language immersion (DLI) programs have grown across the country and the world, in part, as a response to the need to nurture these skills among our future global citizens. However, many leaders in this program are still in the process of developing the knowledge, skills and practices needed to make these multilingual spaces successful for all students. The goal of this book is to support the leaders of DLI programs as they develop policies, make decisions, and nurture instructional practice that advances educational equity in these multilingual spaces.
