Hot off the presses! I was honored to get to work with Maquita Alexander, Executive Director of Washington YuYing Public Charter School in Washington D.C. on this Brief.

Mandarin immersion programs are growing in popularity, with at least 246 programs in schools in 31 states and the District of Columbia in 2017.
This Brief is written for parents who are considering placing their child(ren) in a Mandarin immersion program, or for those parents whose child(ren) is already attending one.
The goal of this Brief is to provide basic information that will make both the decision process and the actual experience clearer for families, as well as offer tips on what parents can do and what resources they can find to make the most of the opportunity that Mandarin immersion offers.
