Program Planning
Transforming dual language education through strategic program planning empowering institutions to create successful and sustainable bilingual programs tailored to their unique needs.
From Assessment to Evaluation
Preliminary Needs Assessment
Before embarking on any dual language program, it’s essential to understand the unique needs, goals, and challenges of your institution. We evaluate the current district program, digging into data to look for what has worked best for multilingual learners and to determine some of the areas where the program can be improved. Our team conducts a thorough preliminary needs assessment to gather key insights, allowing us to tailor our approach to meet your specific requirements.
Task Force Guidance & Collaboration
We believe that collaboration is key to success. We lead and guide school districts in the process of forming a team of professionals who will be in charge of developing and structuring the improvements of the program. That’s why we work closely with administrators, educators, parents, and community stakeholders to provide ongoing guidance and support throughout the program planning process, ensuring that all voices are heard and all perspectives are considered.
Step-by-Step Program Implementation
With a solid foundation in place, we guide you through the step-by-step implementation of your dual language program. At this stage, we serve districts not only in the implementation of the desired program but also in guiding them in the accomplishment of the task. Time may vary depending on the selected programming. From curriculum development to teacher training and student recruitment, we provide comprehensive support at every stage of the process. Our goal is to make the implementation of the program planning process as seamless and stress-free as possible, so you can focus on what matters most – the success of your students.
Sustained Monitoring and Annual Evaluations
Our commitment to excellence doesn’t end once your dual language program is up and running. We believe in the importance of sustained monitoring and evaluation to ensure that your program continues to meet its objectives and evolve with the changing needs of your institution. Our team specializes in providing support to school districts in monitoring the implementation of the program with current research and practices, ongoing feedback, and defined areas of improvement. This ongoing process of reflection and refinement ensures that your dual language program remains relevant, effective, and impactful for years to come.
