What great news! Over 30 more bilingual education programs, in languages that matter to the community! The focus of bilingual education should first be enhancing the languages of the community, before turning to adding in other (high-status, of course) languages. Kudos to NYC educators and policy-makers for getting it right!
Big Apple public schools are going to become a bit more of a melting pot — at least linguistically.

Thanks Eowyn! I shared it on FB and Twitter. Great news indeed!
How did your workshop go? And when is the next one I could join?
All the best,

Hi Ellen-Rose – something to think about for NL, no…?? Both Rotterdam and Hilversum study days were great. Don’t have any other whole-school training days coming up, just EAL training and sessions. Will keep you updated!
