Bilingual Task Force Committee
Twenty years after the historic Lau v. Nichols decision, few research studies have been devoted to the learning needs of Chinese Americans. Recent attempts to create Chinese bilingual programs based on Spanish bilingual studies resulted in fragmented, unclear program expectations. In 1994, TACT members formed a bilingual curriculum committee to review past and current models. TACT members devoted many hours to working on practical steps toward reshaping the program. Currently, TACT is participating on a bilingual task force convened at the request of Superintendent Waldemar Rojas. The task force is made up of educators, parents, and community members. The task force's goal is to address the achievement of limited-English-proficient (LEP) students and to made recommendations.
