Opportunity to Participate in CAL Research:

    Monday, July 15, 2002 (4:45 pm - 6:00 pm, Hyatt "Beacon A"): We are looking for TWI teachers who are native Spanish speakers to fill out a multiple choice questionnaire evaluating statements found in fifth grade students' writing samples. We want your judgment as a member of the Spanish-speaking community in the United States, not academic judgment. You will earn $25 for your participation.

It's not too early to sign up for La Cosecha 2002, to be held November 20-23, 2002 at the Hyatt Regency Tamaya, Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico. This year’s conference will focus on the development of standards which promote the proper design and implementation of effective dual language programs. CAL staff will present research findings at the conference. For information, go to http://www.duallanguagenm.org/lacosecha/index.html.
