On Sept. 27th I am going to appear on a radio
program in San Diego called "En Familia."
The topic of my presentation will be Two Way
Immersion programs and the role of parents in getting
them started.
I have done a lot of research, but would like to
ask members for information and/or advice. Specific
statistical comparisons and information on parents'
groups would be most helpful.
