Title: Funding Opportunity: Dual Language Professional Development Project
Body: From: http://www.thecenterweb.org/irc/pdf/dualu2006app.pdf Scholarships are available for teams of teachers and administrators who work in dual language programs or who are interested in starting or teaching in a dual language program. Dual language programs provide instruction in two languages and aim for all students to develop bilingualism, biliteracy and biculturalism. Three types of programs qualify as dual language: two-way immersion (TWI), developmental bilingual education, and foreign language immersion. For this project, priority will be given to TWI and developmental programs. Transitional bilingual education, English as a second language and English submersion programs are not dual language programs. Teacher scholars selected for this project will complete a three-graduate credit course entitled Bilingual Methods and Materials: Focus on Dual language Education that can be applied towards some states requirements for bilingual/ESL accreditation. Graduate credit will be awarded through National Louis University, Evanston, Illinois. The participants will receive a $425 scholarship through this federal grant. Each teacher scholar is responsible for paying for books and course materials (approximately $50) and an additional $100 to cover tuition for this three graduate credit course. The class will meet on February 16, 17 and 18, 2006 and on May 11, 12 and 13, 2006 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. For more information, download the Joint Teacher & Administrator Scholarship Application Package at: http://www.thecenterweb.org/irc/pdf/dualu2006app.pdf
