This legislation would encourage teachers who desire to specialize in bilingual education to also specialize in one of several areas: Vocational education. adult education. gifted and talented education. special education. education technology. literacy. and math and science education. A special projects section creates a grants program to promote bilingual education in the five areas of gifted and talented education. special education. vocational education. adult literacy. and math and science education. My bill also authorizes new studies to examine the effectiveness of some programs in the above areas as well as studies to evaluate the impact of bilingual education on new linguistic minority groups. primarily refugee children. While I will fully support the reauthorization of bilingual education with the retention of native language instruction. I believe that it is critical that the bilingual education meet the needs of all children.
