WHO is part of the AZ DLI Network?
Anyone who is interested in, or are already a part of a one-way, two-way program, is invited to join like-minded educators through this network! Everyone in this network shares ONE key concept: ALL AZ children deserve access to DLI programs that promote academics taught in English and a partner language, high levels of proficiency in English and a partner language and an enhanced sociocultural view of themselves within the world. If this describes your school and you want to see your program added to the growing list in Arizona, please contact the AZ DLI Network Managers - Maria Cristina Ladas at cristinaladas@me.com or Patricia Fernandez at atalp99@gmail.com.
This is a grassroots network of Dual Language Immersion programs. Please join us if the following are high priorities in your DLI context...
