Establishing a new program
Resources for parents

A roadmap to success

Starting a dual language immersion program is not an easy undertaking: it requires time, patience, organization, persuasion, and commitment from multiple stakeholders (parents, school principals, district superintendents). Some states and school districts have actively supported and spearheaded the growth of dual language programs for quite some time now; some states are just starting to recognize the need for and enormous potential of bilingual education for students’ future academic, career and personal success. In either case however, it is precisely the parent group initiatives that often have been the major driving forces behind establishing dual language programs in the U.S. With the help of experts, teachers, and parents from across the U.S., we have collected an array of documents and resources that can guide you on the road to formal bilingual education for your child.
