Do you have a TWBI/DL program?

If you have a program that has been developed for 3 years plus, we would like you to please take this very short survey on the Spanish language assessments you use for your program. It would appear that Spanish is being assessed in different ways, if at all. Thus, we decided to develop a very short multiple-choice survey on Survey Monkey (estimated time is 3 minutes) to provide us with anonymous information about Spanish assessment in two-way/dual language programs. This information would be really helpful to us as we work with programs and better understand the goals and outcomes of two-way/dual language programs.

Here is a link to the very short survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ATDLE_SpanAssess

Why have they become so popular? Because research shows they are effective for all students. TWBI programs provide all students with the opportunity to develop the bi/multi-lingual, cognitiveacademic, and socio-cultural competencies that will enable them to thrive in the 21st century. This article briefly summarizes the most current research findings in TWBI programs.
