In this session, we present the process for establishing a district-university partnership to provide support for a dual language immersion program for less commonly taught languages. We discuss the process used to create the partnership that resulted in the development of instructional resources, professional development, and research activities to improve program design and implementation. Participants will gain insights on cultivating effectiven partnerships between school districts and universities to better support dual language immersion programs. Implications for the implementation of Proposition 58 will be addressed in this session.
