A Study of State Programs in Bilingual Education. Volume II: Case Studies of Noteworthy Projects in Bilingual Education

摘要

An important component of the Study of State Programs in Bilingual Education was the identification and documentation of noteworthy local projects. In this way, the ideas about programming, the materials and methodologies developed by these projects could be shared with others throughout the country and, in many cases, can be replicated with reasonable expectation of similar benefits. In order to determine which local programs would be documented, Development Associates asked knowledgeable officials in the U.S. Office of Education regional offices, and in the 20 state education agencies to be visited, to nominate those local projects which they considered to be noteworthy in one or more of 10 categories or criterion areas. These 10 categories of projects are the ones considered by the Office of Education to be of particular significance in the provision of bilingual education.
