Calling all dual language education stakeholders! It’s been over seven years since Guiding Principles for Dual Language Education (GPDLE), edition 3 was published and it’s time for an update to this important, widely used resource. Join the Center for Applied Linguistics for a session to help shape the future of the next edition! This feedback-focused session will invite participants to share their experience using GPDLE to implement quality dual language bilingual education (DLBE) programming and reflect on what needs to be updated and included for the next generation of DLBE programs.
