CREDE (Center for Research on Education, Diversity & Excellence) has published Practitioner Brief #2, Development and Maintenance of Two-Way Immersion Programs: Advice from Practitioners (March 2001), by Julie Sugarman and Elizabeth R. Howard, Center for Applied Linguistics. Based on responses from principals, bilingual coordinators, and teachers in two-way immersion (TWI) programs associated with CREDE project 1.2, this brief provides advice to those practitioners implementing new TWI programs. Designing curricula, planning for assessment, training teachers, involving parents, garnering district support, and fostering long-term growth are among the issues addressed.

Development and Maintenance of Two-Way Immersion Programs: Advice from Practitioners is available online at http://cal-org.wdi.net/crede/pubs/PracBrief2.htm.  Information on all CREDE publications is always available online at http://cal-org.wdi.net/crede/pubs/.
