Common challenges faced by schools
Inconsistent quality
The quality of the program varies significantly from year to year or between different classes.
Billing of stakeholders
Parents and administrators do not fully understand the dynamics and particularities of a bilingual program.
Linguistic diversity
Constant influx of new students at various developmental levels.
Lack of clear standards
There is no systematic way to evaluate or improve the program's effectiveness.
Lack of qualified professionals
Graduating is just the beginning. Sustaining what you learn is what transforms education.
Teacher turnover
Losing experienced professors means losing knowledge and momentum for the program.
Quick diagnosis: Evaluate your program
Consider these questions about your bilingual program:
1. Do you have documented curriculum progression across all grade levels?
2. Is there a systematic professional development plan for bilingual teachers?
3. Can the program maintain its quality when key professors leave or new students join?
4. Do you have clear metrics to evaluate the program's effectiveness?
5. Is there a strong alignment between the bilingual and 'monolingual' components?
6. Do the stakeholders fully understand and support the program's objectives?
7. Are the assessment practices consistent and aligned with the learning objectives?
If you answered "no" or "unsure" to more than one question, IBT can help you maximize your program.
