Results of the survey reveal patterns and shifts in enrollment, languages and programs offered, curricula used, teacher qualifications and training, and reactions to national reform issues. This survey replicates CAL's 1987 survey, allowing accurate comparisons of today's teaching practices with those of a decade ago. 1999.
