Arizona Dual Language Immersion Network

We are a grassroots network of dual language immersion educators, parents, community members and supporters who are passionate about this choice model.

We finally hosted our 1st AZ DLI Academy for TEACHERS! We hope that this small K-6 group will become the base for future teacher events supporting our 3 AZ immersion languages: Spanish, Mandarin and Diné! #azdlinetwork #duallanguageimmersion https://t.co/Wfvas1V5NS

Thanks KJZZ for an article on the current AZ situation. https://t.co/2gaVACCd5Q

Hoping to see lots of AZ DLI educators at the International DLI conference this October in Salt Lake City. I recommend including the school visits - Utah has a state-wide initiative with close to 40k students in DLI programs. https://t.co/fqOrWuBwJl

🌏We are pleased to announce the re-launch of the America’s Languages Caucus! New House Co-Chair, @RepJenKiggans, joins @RepJimmyPanetta in this important leadership role to support #multilingualism in the United States.

Superintendent Tom Horne should leave decisions about educating English language learners to those with the proper authority, like parents. https://t.co/VgwlMPqfby via @azcentral

👏 Kudos to the court for upholding the legality of dual-language instruction in AZ. Passed unanimously in 2019 by a Republican-led legislature, this approach benefits all students. #ArizonaSchools

Maria Cristina from the AZ DLI Network spoke with @BoricuaBilingue on her Podcast for Spanish speaking families on our favorite topic (in Spanish) Dual Language Immersion. https://t.co/t35Zl9GEjZ #programadedobleinmersion #duallanguageimmersion #advocacyDLI

DLI educators - don't forget to submit a proposal to present at the 9th International Conference on Immersion and Dual Language Education (due TODAY): https://t.co/NliegvK8as

Had a wonderful week of learning and reconnecting with the experts in language education at @ACTFL this past week! And thanks Patty for co-presenting our session on how to build grassroots DLI Networks! Thousands of people there support English Learners in DLI!

[Arizona Dual Language Immersion Network @azdlinetwork]

Had a fantastic AZ DLI Leadership Academy with 35 DLI leaders (principals, assistant principals, district coordinators, coaches) representing 12 school district. All there to learn about research-based DLI programs and how to best implement, including ELs!

[Arizona Dual Language Immersion Network @azdlinetwork]

@Thecenturyfoundation Great article from The Century Foundation supporting English Learners in DLI programs - all research mentioned is cited. AZ says gracias-thank you! https://t.co/2Pn9mUj4mP

Good Op-Ed - Tom Horne sues to stop dual language programs. Now who will stop his hypocrisy? https://t.co/ChrH0XqunB via @azcentral

[Arizona Dual Language Immersion Network @azdlinetwork]

@brahmresnik @GovernorHobbs @AZAGMayes The fact that our tax payer dollars are funding this is so wrong. Dual Language is the best way for English Learners to learn English and stay up to speed with their academics while becoming competitive with the rest of the world.

[Arizona Dual Language Immersion Network @azdlinetwork]

Unbelievable. Why pick this fight when DLI is the best model for our English Learners to learn English and stay on par with their academics?

[Brahm Resnik @brahmresnik]

JUST IN School Superintendent Tom Horne sues @GovernorHobbs @AZAGMayes & Creighton School District over use of Dual Language English learning model, which he opposes. (Suit knocks State Board of Education, too, but it's not named.) https://t.co/bCUrjfumA0

@RealTomHorne @WomenInRedAZ @AzFRW @Arizona_YCRW I'm glad you are working to empower parents and students but why are you removing school choice from parents of English Learners who want to be in a dual language program?

If you missed the "The Raise The Bar, Lead the World," #OELA webinar on High Quality Dual Language for ALL, the recording has been posted with AZ's own Maria-Cristina Ladas as a panelist: #DLI #multilingual https://t.co/2KcjEr523h

.@realtomhorne Every student, including English Learners, deserves a chance to excel. Don't let your political agenda hinder their progress. Protect their rights and ensure a high-quality education for all. Stop building barriers and #ProtectEnglishLearners!

[ASKNCELA1 @ASKNCELA1]

A win for English Learners in AZ 50-50 DLI programs. No one can sue DLI educators for following the 50-50 DLI model approved by the state board of education as per the Attorney General. She has informed all County Attorneys of this. #duallanguageimmersion #whatsrightforkids
