A Study of State Programs in Bilingual Education. Volume III: Inventory of Bilingual Education Provisions in State Legislation

摘要

Development Associates, Inc., conducted a review and analysis of state programs in bilingual education for the purpose of describing authorizing legislation, identifying program goals, objectives and mandated or prohibited approaches or practices; defining program requirements for staff qualifications, training activities, materials development and technology and study/teacher ratios. The legislative review necessary to accomplish these tasks prompted the thought that it would be helpful to the bilingual education community, and those administratively involved with this community if all the major provisions of existing state legislation supporting bilingual instruction in the Nation were contained in one volume. This supporting volume of the final report for the Study of State Programs in Bilingual Education is a result of this.
